Bubble bump football
Bubble bump football is a variation of football (American soccer), where players don large enveloping clear torus-shaped plastic bladders. The inner hole in the torus is wide enough the player can run, and kick the ball, like in normal soccer. But the roughly circular outer surface of the bubble is wide enough that players bounce off one another, when they come near.
history[edit]
Norwegians Henrik Elvestad and Johan Golden invented the game in 2011.[1]

Bubble soccer had exploded and the world wanted more of it.

Bump soccer requires players to wear an inflatable "bubble" tube while they run around the pitch trying to score. The "bump suits" make it easy to plow over your friends and bounce around on the field.
