Whoever was first to balance for five seconds was the winner. The other game challenged players to balance in their ball so that their feet were pointing skyward. (It’s hard enough to know where you are, let alone magically kick a ball.) The first game was “bubble sumo,” where the aim is to try to be the last person standing after pushing the others out of the ring. The ball itself is heavy at around 15 kilograms, and visibility inside the bubble is low.
BUBBLE TROUBLE COM HOW TO
My group of three plus several random strangers-who looked like they belonged in a real soccer game-completed “Team Pink.” Next was “get to know your bubble.” This consisted of learning how to wear the bubble, as well as two competitive games against the other teams. As there are more team members than what is allowed on the court-5 to 6 players-competitors have to substitute each other when they feel it’s necessary … or at least when they get too disgustingly sweaty. No intentionally attacking opponents who do not have the ball (boo!). No storing the ball within your bubble or climbing on top of it to shield it from others.
BUBBLE TROUBLE COM FULL
You’re in a bubble, so full contact is allowed, though a certain amount of cheating must be avoided. Just like regular soccer, your goal is to get the ball into the opposite net. First were the rules, all in Japanese but easy to interpret. In organized Japanese fashion, the three-hour session was divided into four sections: introduction, what I call “get to know your bubble” practice, the actual games, and an award ceremony. I decided to give it another go, if only for the chance to push my boyfriend over. Just sign up online as an individual, a small group of friends, or a complete team (¥3,000 per person), and show up to one of their three designated spaces. Two years later, what is now the Japan Bubble Football Federation has its act together. I had neck pain for a week after thanks to the faulty straps inside my bubble. Though I had an absolutely amazing time, the activity wasn’t well-coordinated and the bubbles tended to fall apart. I first played in May 2014, when it was a fledgling sport in Japan. While the sport originally had some clinches-equipment was scarce and there were no rules governing what made a good bubble-it now has a well-established National Association of Bubble Soccer.
