A match is played by two teams, each consisting of four players. A match may not start if either team consists of fewer than three players. Substitutions: There are no substitutions.
During gameplay, there are four active players on the field with each team. Goalkeepers are NOT allowed. Players can travel through the front of the goal, but cannot stay in front of the goal for more than three seconds.
The referee(s) provided during the match are for the supervision of the game, but also to ensure the safety of the players.
Excessive force bumps without the intent to gain possession of the ball OR without the intent to clear the path of the ball to the goal, can penalize with a 2 min penalty based on referee’s discretion. Depending on the case, especially when these bumps are from blind spots & when safety of the opponent is endangered, referee has the authority to eject a player.
Bumping the opponents outside the boundary cones is NOT legal. A bump inside the playing field that results in an opponent falling outside that playing area is legal.
Each player must be in a “Bubble Ball” prior to stepping on the field. The equipment shall be worn fully- inflated and over the shoulders with shoulder straps and waist strap that are snug to ensure that the player is secured tightly inside the ball.
Players must wear tennis shoes, turf shoes, or soccer cleats (no metal cleats)
No jewelry or other sharp objects may be worn during play or in the Bubble Ball. Glasses may be used, however wearing an eyewear retainer to keep them on the player at all times is highly recommended.
Players who are knocked to the ground during play must be allowed to get up before being contacted again by the opposing team. It is critical that players not be hit while on the ground and be allowed to get up. Referees will enforce this rule as player’s legs are vulnerable when trying to stand up and to ensure safety.
