/ what happens at a bubble football party?

If you’re wanting to know how a Bubble Football session works then you’re probably planning a birthday, stag or hen do or a corporate event and want to know more information on exactly what to expect. Bubble Football is our most popular group activity and it’s easy to see why. It’s hilarious and gets everyone involved.

Here is a full breakdown of what happens at a Bubble Football booking.

 

Arrival and Welcome

When you arrive, you’ll be met by one of our coordinators who runs the session from start to finish. Our coordinators are experienced and fully trained.

Our coordinators will make sure everyone taking part signs the disclaimer, go through the safety rules, explain how to get in and out of the bubbles and outline how the games will run.

All the equipment is provided and the pitch hire is included so there are no hidden costs to worry about.

 

 

Getting Into the Bubble Suits

Up next, it’s time to get into the bubbles! When in the bubbles, each player has their upper body and head covered, with a window to look through. This also helps with airflow. The bubbles are secure, padded and designed specifically for safe impact.

Once everyone is in their bubble, the mood lifts instantly, even trying to stand up becomes funny when wrapped in a bubble and then it’s time to get going!

 

The Games Begin

Bubble Football isn’t just one long match. It’s multiple short games of Bubble Football and other bubble games. Expect plenty of bouncing tackles and unexpected rollovers.

Other popular bubbles games are:

Bubble Bulldog

The bulldog stands in the middle of the pitch with the other players trying to run past them without getting knocked over. If you get knocked over by the bulldog, you join them in the middle until there’s only one player left.

Last Player Standing

Each player has to try and knock each other down while staying on their feet. Last playing standing, wins.

Box to Box

Each team starts in opposing goalkeepers’ boxes. On the coordinators command, each team must get all of their players from their box to the other box before the other team. On the way, they can do what then can to slow the other team down.

Footballing ability is not needed so it works perfectly for everyone. Whether booking for a stag in Glasgow, kids’ party in Manchester or a corporate team building day in Belfast, everyone can join in on the fun.

 

Plenty of Laughs and Photo Moments

On the best things about Bubble Football is how funny it is to watch as well as take part in. With players bouncing off each other, rolling across the pitch and sometimes needing a helping hand getting back up, you’ll find yourself laughing non-stop.

It creates plenty of brilliant photo and video opportunities which is why it’s so popular. Whether it’s a birthday party, stag or hen weekend or just something to do with friends, you’ll be able to look back on the memories and relive the laughs.

 

 

Breaks and Rotations

With 10 bubbles supplied for our sessions, this allows plenty of chances for rotations, if you have more that 10 players. This allows rest breaks from game to game for players to recover and also laugh while the watch.

Your coordinator keeps everything moving smoothly so the sessions flows.

 

Optional Add-On Activities

Many groups choose to combine Bubble Football with our other activities to create a Multi Activity package.

Our other activities are; Combat Archery, Football Darts, Goggle Football, Dodgeball and Old School Sports Day.

This is ideal for stag and hen parties, corporate team building events, and larger birthday groups who want variety.
