FAQ's

It's soccer...but with players enclosed in giant bubbles bumping, knocking, and rolling into each other. Think soccer meets bumper cars. Other games are also available, like bubble football king of the ring, and capture the flag.

A standard soccer game is about 5 minutes long. Depending on the requests of the customer and the size of the event, we can play longer or create halves/quarters.

Absolutely not. Bubble soccer is for anyone, regardless of shape or skill level. With bubbles on, everyone is on the same level.

You pick the place and we come to you. We play indoors and outdoors, on soccer fields, parks, gyms, basketball courts, rec centers, schools, big backyards, etc. You will be responsible for booking your venue. If you need suggestions or ideas, we can help.

We serve the MD, DC, DE, and northern VA areas. If you're not sure if you're in this range, just ask. However, travel fees may apply to your rental based on the driving distance from Arbutus, MD to your venue.

Prices vary based on length of rental, location, and other factors. See the pricing table on the rental page or fill out our rental form or call 410-891-2093 for more information.

Just the venue. We'll take care of the rest.

Games are usually 4v4 or 5v5. But you can have an unlimited number of players. We've had rentals as big as 1000 players.

A standard 5v5 game works great on a venue the size of a full sized basketball court.

No way. You play for the time you pay. However, we need access to your venue for a half hour before and after your rental. You are responsible for any additional venue fees for us having access during this time.

• Sound System with Mic ($25)
• Giant Inflatable Soccer Ball ($50)
• Human Hamster Ball (starting at $150)

Just select the option when you book or contact us any time before your rental.

All bookings require a an initial deposit of 25% with a minimum of $150. If you pay in full, your deposit is included in your payment. You many cancel for any reason at least one week before your rental date and receive a full refund, minus your deposit and any taxes applied. If you wish to rebook, you may do so for free. If you cancel less than one week before your rental, you forfeit your payment.

We play in light rain. In the event of hazardous weather (thunder/lightning, heavy rain, intese wind, etc.) or muddy conditions, we reserve the final decision in cancellation. If you decide to cancel due to weather, without our consent, you will be held to the standard refund policy. If we cancel the event due to weather or muddy conditions, we will strive to give you ample notification time. You may rebook your rental based on our availability for free. If your rental was cancelled due to weather and you do not wish to rebook, you will be refunded everything aside from your initial deposit.

We will assess each situation individually. Generally, we will wait an appropriate amount of time to see if the conditions clear, if the venue permits and if we do not have another time committment. If they do not, or if the forecast isn't favorable, or if the weather renders the field unusable (too muddy), we reserve the final decision to cancel the rest of the rental. If at least 50% of the rental was performed before the delay/cancellation, no makeup date will be issued. Instead you'll receive a credit towards a future rental. If less than 50% of the rental was performed, a free makeup date may be booked for the remaining time. Travel fees may apply.

• Athletic attire and shoes (no cleats please)

Yes you do. If you are a minor, your parent or guardian will need to sign.

Almost everyone is completely fine in the bubble suits. People with pre-exisitng conditions such as severe claustrophobia, asthma, nausea, pregnancy, or head or heart conditions should consult their doctor before playing.

There is no age restriction. Currently, we require players to be 4'6" or taller AND less than 250 lbs. This is purely for safety reasons. However, different body types outside of this range may be able to fit. Just ask us. Smaller kids may fit but may not be able to play certain games.

After talking with us, you'll be sent to our secure online payment platform. If you are booking at least two weeks in advance of your rental date, you may choose to pay in full or pay a deposit to reserve your date. Otherwise, full payment is due upon booking. If you prefer to pay by check, we'll instruct you on how to mail it to us. Checks must clear before the rental.

The deposit will be a non-refundable 25% of your total booking or $150, whichever is greater.

Your balance will be due no later than two weeks before your rental date. If we do not receive the full payment by then, we will notify you, and you'll have one week to complete payment. If full payment is not received at least one week before your rental date, the rental will be cancelled, and the standard refund policy will apply.

Unfortunately yes. We'll make sure to be transparent in everything we charge and never have any hidden fees. State sales tax applies to most rentals. Travel fees may apply depending on the location of the rental. A Holiday fee may apply if your rental occurs on a federal holiday. We reserve the right to charge any other fees, provided we disclose them to you first before booking.
