The beautiful game…zorb style! #football #zorbing
Published on: 09/04/2015
If you’re looking for an event that’s a bit different, active and very entertaining, then take a look at Zorbing Football!
Zorbing is becoming increasingly popular for those into their fitness – you’ll see zorbs being used in many boot camp classes and for those just looking for a bit of fun!
You can ‘harness zorb’ and speed roll down a hill at 30mph, ‘aqua zorb’ and have complete movement inside a zorb which is pumped with around 30 litres of water and of course, zorb whilst playing a glorious game of football!
Interested? Of course you are! Type ‘zorbing football’ into YouTube and we guarantee you’ll be inspired to try it! With this in mind, we’ve decided to bring the fun to you and will be hosting a Zorbing Football Tournament on Saturday 11th July at Croxteth Leisure and Wellbeing Centre, 10am-12pm for those adventurous enough to have a go!
The event begins with a safety briefing and practice session, where players will get used to the zorb suits. This means you will be running around bumping and crashing into each other. When you have the feel for your suit, the fun can truly begin!
Rather than tackle, use the more effective barge to win the ball off your opponents, sending them flying end over end in the process. When in control of the ball, if you can stop yourself howling with laughter for long enough, dribble it forward before smashing it home past the goalie, but beware, a barge could come from any direction!
The event will finish with games including Zorb Bulldog / Last Man Standing and a zorb crossbar challenge!
Whether you enter as a team with your friends or an individual, you are guaranteed to enjoy this hilarious version of the beautiful game!
Playing time: 120 minutes (players will be rotated on and off frequently to allow players to catch their breath!)
£30pp – includes full use of the suit, participation in tournament and games, team photo for each player
