Game in big inflatable balls. Bumperball is a safe sport for extreme sports
And in such attire they try to score the ball into the opponent's goal.
Story
The emergence of bumperball is associated with the names of the Norwegians Henrik Elvestad (Henrik Elvestad) and Johan Golden (Johan Golde), who decided to modify ordinary football by dressing players in transparent inflatable spheres. Thus, the end of 2011 was marked by the first match in the history of bumperball, which was shown in the TV show "Golden Goal" on the Norwegian TV channel TV2. Later, the video of the match spread on the Internet, and this attraction began to gain popularity around the world. In Russia, the first bumperball club Bumperball SPB (bumper-ball.ru) was opened in St. Petersburg in 2013.
Game concept
Preparation for the game takes no more than 10 minutes. To do this, you need to unpack the bumperball, inflate it and dress the participants. The upper body of the player is placed in a transparent sphere, holding down the hands. Air access is provided by a hole in the top of the ball. The footballer has free legs, so he can easily move around playing field. It is very difficult for a player dressed in this way to balance, which is where the fun part of ball football comes from. If a player is pushed by an opponent, he may immediately be in the place of a soccer ball. And to score a goal in such a position becomes an extremely difficult task.
Rules
The game requires two teams, which consist of an equal number of participants. The optimal team composition is 3-5 people. The rules provide for two game halves. Teams can set the time themselves, but, as a rule, the game lasts from 5 to 10 minutes, otherwise, the players will simply get tired of running in bumperballs, weighing 7 - 12 kilograms, depending on the thickness of the material and size. The goal of the game is to try to hit the opponent's goal in the allotted playing time. The team that scores the most goals wins. It is impossible to get a red card in bumperball, as fouls are considered a mandatory part of the game. The rules allow: pushing an opponent to the ground, preventing him from returning to the field, as well as doing somersaults and even standing on his head. Therefore, sometimes this competition is more like a sumo wrestling match than a football match.
Play equipment
Bumperball is a spherical torus that consists of six air-filled segments, similar to a zorb. The size of the ball varies - 1.2 meters, 1.5 meters and 1.8 meters. The walls of the ball are very strong, with a thickness of 0.5 mm to 1 mm and can withstand more than a dozen kilograms. The material is strong polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride. The ball is fastened with special straps and provides comfortable handles for which the player must hold. Due to the presence of various sizes, the bumper ball is equally suitable for both adult players and small participants. The ball can be transparent or contain colored stripes for the convenience of team play.
The goal is small, made of a material that is not capable of damaging the player or the ball, not more than 1.5 m wide.
Field of play
A necessary condition for the game is free space. The game can take place in a closed mini-hall, on a football field and on an equipped beach. Therefore, bumperball matches can be held at any time of the year. The playing field can be covered with: grass, artificial turf, sand, and even snow. The main condition is the absence of sharp objects that can damage the sphere.
Safety
The main advantage of the bumperball is its safety. During the game, opponents try to take the ball away from each other, fall and roll around the playing field and can do all sorts of tricks. Despite the high level of contact, injuries in this sport are excluded, as the players are reliably protected by an inflatable sphere, which gently absorbs any contact with the ground.
Bumperball was invented by Norwegians Henrik Elvestad and Johan Golden. The guys were fed up with ordinary football, and they decided to change it. The essence of the game remained the same, but the players were put on transparent inflatable spheres similar to zorbs, only smaller. In 2011, the first match in the history of bumperball took place, and the TV show Golden Goal on the Norwegian TV2 channel and the Internet brought him fame. Bumperball has recently appeared in Russia and is already gaining its popularity in all regions of the country.

Representative of the first bumperball organization in Russia
Often bumperball acts as the "nail" of the birthday. It can be a surprise for the birthday boy, when relatives agree in advance, and we bring balloons to their dacha or park, where they are all already sitting at the table. It also happens vice versa: active guys surprise their guests, invite them to the gym or to the clearing, and there we are already waiting for them with a bumper ball.
When we first started last year, no one knew about bumperball. Then one guy ordered the game and his friends, whom he told to come to the gym in uniform, were shocked. Especially girls, because it is not always clear how to put it on and the first question for everyone is “How does it work?”
How it works?
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a colorless, transparent plastic. PVC is a flame retardant and self-extinguishing material. It is resistant to alkalis, acids, lime and weathering.
The design of the bumperball is a ball, which consists of PVC segments filled with air. The ball diameter is 1.5 meters. Unlike zorbs, a person is placed in a ball only up to the waist, like in a spacesuit. This is what guarantees safety during the game: a person feels like in an air cushion in which you can push, somersault and fall.
How to work with it?
Anything can be done with bumperballs. The first bumperball organization in Russia shared with Piterstory how balloons can be used:
Football. Perhaps the most common use of bumperballs. The rules of the game remain the same as in football, but the process of the game changes somewhat. Most likely, you will not be able to score a single goal - it is much more fun to watch how your friends bounce from the earth.
Mass battle. Divide your friends into two groups and have a wall-to-wall battle. Oh, if all the showdowns in our country were resolved using bumperballs, the world would become a little more positive and more fun.
Sparring. If you like to argue with your best friend, no more tossing a coin: put on the bumperballs and have an epic battle.
Hi all! I would like to tell everyone about such an exciting and fun variety of football as BUMPERBALL!!!
Football in balls (bumperball, bumper ball)- This is a sport in which participants put on special inflatable spheres (bumperballs, zorbs), and thus try to score the ball into the opponent's goal.

Bumperball is one of the new and very exciting entertainments in St. Petersburg. If you still have not decided how you will spend the coming weekend, invite your friends and play together in an energetic team game.
What is bumperball? (game scenarios)
There are several game scenarios:
1: Football in inflatable balls without rules. The essence of the game is the same as in regular football: to score as many goals as possible in the opponent's goal, only at the same time you can knock the opponent down, crash and somersault. You will have to play not in a sports uniform, but in special balls that completely cover the upper body of the player and are securely fixed with special straps.
2: Dodgeball. The main task is to knock the opponent down. The team whose player remains on their feet wins.
3: Relays (or tumbleweeds). One of the team members is grouped completely in the ball, and the rest of the team members roll it to the end of the field and back, respectively, whoever rolls the ball faster wins.
4: Sumo. Two participants in balls stand in the center of the field and their task is to knock down the opponent or push him out of the circle line.
5: Bavarian tractor. And you will learn more about this scenario when you come to us :)
Since the weight of a children's ball is 7 kg, and the weight of an adult ball is 10 kg, the duration of one match is 10-15 minutes. After that, the players can take some rest and prepare for a new run.
Benefits of bumperball:
- does not require absolutely no skills;
- suitable for people of different sex and age (taking into account the specifics of the game, the minimum height of participants is 100 cm);
