/ what to wear to bubble football

If you’ve never played Bubble Football before, you might be wondering what you should wear.

You want to be comfortable when you’re running, bouncing and rolling around inside an inflatable bubble. It can make a big difference to your safety and also help you enjoy the activity more. Whether you’re attending a stag do, birthday party or corporate event with Bubble Soccer World, here is a simple guide to what works best.

 

Wear Comfortable Sports Clothing

Your best bet is lightweight sportswear that allows you to move easily. Bubble Football can get energetic and sweating very quickly, so breathable clothing helps keep you comfortable.

Ideal choices are t-shirts, football/gym shorts, tracksuit bottoms or athletic leggings.

We recommend avoiding heavy clothing like jeans or thick hoodies as they can restrict movement when you are inside the bubble.

 

 

Choose the Right Footwear

Footwear is important because you will be running, turning and bouncing on the pitch.

Best options are astro trainers or comfortable sports trainers. Football boots are not allowed as they can cause damage to the equipment. Proper sports footwear gives you better grip and stability during the games

 

Avoid Sharp or Loose Items

Because of the nature of the games during Bubble Football, it is important not to have anything in your pockets or on your person that could cause damage to the bubbles or yourself while collide and bump into each other.

Before playing, you should remove, jewellery, watches, keys, phones, belts, vapes etc.

Emptying your pockets also prevents items failing out during the game and getting damaged.

 

Dress for the Weather

Bubble Football is often played outdoors at the majority of the locations we use, so it’s worth checking the weather before your booking. Our bookings still go ahead in the rain and wind so for colder days we recommend wearing a light base layer and also bring a hoodie or jacket for your rest breaks.

For warmer weather, it can get hot inside the bubbles so choose breathable sports clothing and regardless of weather, always remember to bring water to stay hydrated.

Even on cooler days you’ll warm up quickly once the games start.

 

 

Do You Need Special Equipment

No special equipment is required. The inflatable bubble suits and all game equipment are provided during your session with Bubble Soccer World.

All you need to bring is suitable sports clothing, comfortable footwear and a sense of humour.

 

 

Expect to Fall Over, A lot!

One of the funniest parts of Bubble Football is that falling over, and making other people fall over, is part of the game. The inflatable bubbles protect your upper body, but you will bounce and roll. You also may end up upside down!

Wearing flexible clothing and proper footwear helps make those moments a lot more comfortable.

 

Why Bubble Football is Perfect for Group Events

Bubble Football is our most popular group activities because it’s simple, active and hilarious to take part in and watch.

It works perfectly for stag and hen parties, kids’ birthday parties and corporate team building events. Because the rules are easy to learn and football skill is not important, everyone can get involved from the get go.
