If you love to play soccer, but you’re looking to take on a new hobby, we’ve got an idea — a big, inflatable idea. The sport is called Bubbleball, and the best part is: Bumping into your opponent isn’t just allowed, it’s encouraged.
You’ve heard of Bubble Boy.
But now Bubbleball is a real sport with an official Bubbleball association and everything.
Carlos Ladines: “Well, the whole soccer fever has come to Miami now, trying to put something new to do and something a little different.”
It’s sort of like soccer meets dodgeball.
Carlos Ladines: “Once you get your first hit, you’re gonna have so much fun.”
No helmet required.
Carlos Ladines: “Your head doesn’t stick out of the ball. So you’re actually in there completely.”
Alex Miranda: “Are you coming after me?”
Carlos Ladines: “I think so. I don’t wanna say it, but I think so.”
Alex Miranda: “OK, good. Because I’m coming after you.”
Carlos Ladines: “So you won’t get hurt.”
Alex Miranda: “I’m most scared of you, man. I feel like you’re gonna kick some real butt. So what are your goals going into this game?”
Player: “Knock everybody down.”
Same here.
Carlos Ladines: “It’s like your own bounce house, so you could play as rough as you can and as much as you can handle.”
Alex Miranda: “Is it basically just soccer, but in a bubble, or are the rules different?”
Carlos Ladines: Well, the rule’s a little bit different. You actually run into each other. Like, if you don’t like your opponent, it’s just your chance.”
Alex Miranda: “Karma!”
Carlos Ladines: “This is gonna be done indoors and outdoors. We do birthday parties, corporate events.”
Sweet … but we lost anyway.
Referee: “Orange is winning right now.”
Alex Miranda: “You guys won fair and square. I’m gonna admit that. Absolutely killed it. What would you say is the winning formula?”
Player: “Wait in the corner and wait for a long ball. You don’t have to run the whole way because it’s hard to run in these things. So you just wait for the ball. It’s over.”
Alex Miranda: “So let me get this straight. You guys were actually playing the game?!”
Carlos Ladines: “Yeah. It’s a game of soccer. I know the bubble kinda confuses people, but it’s a soccer game.”
Team Blue, we took it more as anger management therapy.
Player: “I just kept bumping people to the ground.”
