Bubble soccer shopping list

A bubble soccer session needs more than inflatable suits and a ball. Pack the field equipment, inflation supplies, refreshments and practical items that keep registration, changing and breaks running smoothly. Check the venue’s equipment list before buying anything, especially goals, cones and pumps. Plan drinks and snacks around the number of players, and bring spare parts and first-aid cooling supplies so a small equipment problem does not stop the game.

Tips

  • Allow one bubble suit per player, plus at least one spare if your group is large or the session runs for several hours. Confirm suit sizes and availability with the provider before shopping.
  • Bring one pump for inflating the suits and a spare pump or spare valves. Check every valve and seam before participants arrive; inflating 10–15 suits can take longer than expected.
  • For drinks, allow two to three servings per person during the first hour, then one serving per additional hour. Chill them in coolers before the group arrives and keep water available throughout play.
  • Pack enough cups, plates and cutlery for the full group, plus roughly 10% extra. Small bowls and serving platters are useful for snacks without putting food directly on the reception table.
  • Keep ice packs, changing mats and waste bins near the field and changing area. Put tables, chairs and a covered drink station where players can reach them without walking across the playing surface.

Frequently asked questions

What equipment do I need for bubble soccer?
For a basic session, plan one bubble suit per player, footballs, two goals, cones, team bibs, whistles and a stopwatch. Also bring a pump, a spare pump and spare valves if you are responsible for the equipment.
How many bubble suits should I hire?
Hire one suit for every confirmed player, then add one spare suit for groups of more than 15 people when possible. Confirm the size range at least 7 days before the session so unsuitable suits can be replaced.
How much food and drink do I need for bubble soccer?
Allow two to three drinks per person for the first hour and one more per person for each additional hour. For food, prepare at least two snack portions per person, with extra sandwiches if the session overlaps lunchtime.
What should I bring for a bubble soccer session in rainy weather?
Check the forecast 24 hours beforehand and pack a party tent or other cover, changing mats and extra towels if rain is possible. Keep drinks and food under cover, and confirm the venue’s cancellation or rescheduling deadline before the event.
