Allain started the company_bubble soccer

Allain started the company two months ago with a partner, and last night’s game was only their second public event. So far, they’ve predominantly catered to private parties.

If you’ve never heard of Allain’s company or Bubble Soccer, don’t feel like you’re not in the know. Bubble Soccer is obscure and isn’t a widespread sport in Canada.

Allain explained it was invented by two Norwegian comedians a few years ago and that the sport’s popularity has gained traction in Europe and Australia.

He said there’s only one other company that offers Bubble Soccer in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, and only a few companies that offer it elsewhere in Canada.

In part, that’s unsurprising. While the game is undeniable fun — which was a sentiment expressed by all other participants I talked to — it also tests human logic.

Let me reiterate the general premise of the game: people run around in giant bubbles and smash into each other. That’s about it.

Allain explained there are more games for bubble enthusiasts to play than just soccer. There’s a variation of British Bulldog, American football and a chess-type game, among others.bubble soccer suits


But in the end, it all comes back to crashing into other people. To that end, a question remains: Is it safe?

Before participating, Allain assured me it was. He said a certain onus rests with the players to not take things too far, and like any contact sport, a risk of injury is possible. But the bubble should provide you all the protection you need, he said.
I’ll say this: I woke up today a broken man.

However, my dietary dependancy on Wendy’s and my made-for-office-chair body likely played a part in that.

Perhaps the truth rested in what happened after the final whistle blew and the ball was taken off the field.

A group of players, all laughter and giggles, ran around like madmen, crashing into each other — for absolutely no reason. It was a scene of unsaturated joy mixed with anarchy, and big giant bubbles.
