Bubble Soccer, Bubble Ball Soccer, Bubble Ball or Bubble Football depending on where you live; is Canada’s latest and fastest growing sport. With its origins rooted in Norway, Bubble Soccer has rapidly expanded through Europe, and has now arrived in North America. Bubble Soccer uses the latest safety technology in a contact sport, allowing participants to dawn what is essentially a protective suit of air condensed into a plastic bubble suit, or as some call it a soccer bubble. It combines this bubble suit with the regular game of soccer, allowing for full contact while still protecting participants in their bubble suit. The objectives of the game are the same; run shoot and score, only now the added dimension of contact has players on their feet and alert.
