Rent a Bumper Ball: Fast, Simple, and Affordable

In 6 steps, you’ll be ready to crash:

1. Book your bumper balls online here through our website; select the number of balls and your pickup location.
2. Confirmation & Appointment. You’ll receive a reservation confirmation via email with the contact information for your chosen pickup location so you can schedule a time to pick up the balls. We’re flexible: pick them up on Friday, use them on Saturday, and return them on Sunday (for example).
3. Loading. Fold down the backseat and empty the trunk. That way, you can easily fit 10 or more bumper balls into a standard passenger car. The person in charge of pick-up will also explain how to use the pump right away, so you can quickly inflate them yourself on site. You’ll receive all other necessary items in one handy sports bag: the electric pump, an extension cord, a soccer ball, and the cones to set up goals.
4. Let’s play! Blow up the balls and have some fun—check out our tutorial here. Bumping, rolling, and laughter included.
5. Please return the item at the agreed-upon time to the same pickup location.
6. Payment. You don’t pay until after you’re done. So you only pay after you’ve used the bumper balls and returned them.

Are you planning to bring a larger group (12 balls or more)? If so, please inquire about transportation when making your reservation; in this case, we often recommend a van.

Bumper ball, also known as bubble soccer or bubble ball, is a hilarious variation on soccer in which players sit in large inflatable balls. The transparent bumper ball covers your entire upper body – from your knees to above your head – and you are strapped in with shoulder straps so the ball moves with you. The game principle is similar to soccer (two teams, one ball, goals) but with one big difference: colliding is not only allowed, it’s half the fun! You run at opponents, knock them over, roll across the field together, and in the meantime try to score anyway. The balls completely protect, so you can go wild without hurting yourself. The result: a mix of sports, chaos and uncontrolled laughter. Don’t worry if you’re not athletic – bumper ball is more about fun than soccer skills!

Absolutely! In fact, indoor bumper ball is very popular, especially during the winter months (November to March). It works great in gymnasiums, large sheds or warehouses, indoor sports complexes, or even large event venues with enough space. Advantages of indoor: always playable (weather independent), flat and clean surface, and often better lighting for photos/videos. Disadvantages: slightly harder when dropped (but the balls compensate well) and more limited sense of space than outdoors. Minimum space requirement indoor is 15 by 25 meters – slightly smaller than outdoor can be because there is no wind or other weather factors. Ceiling must be at least 4 meters high (the balls are about 1.5 meters high and people sometimes jump). Many schools book bumper ball in their gym for school fields days, and businesses use their corporate hall. Caution: no breakables around – bumper ball can roll uncontrollably!
