Bristol Bubble Football Stag Do's

This is a daft team sport for Bristol stags that are up for a laugh. You get kitted out in a body zorb – a big inflatable sphere that will make you look a bit like Mr Bounce. The adjustable straps and handgrips will get you ready for action. And once you're up and running you’ll have to work hard to stay that way as you attempt to play a hilarious game of football, while being barged from all sides. You can use your zorb to send your opponents flying as you try to get control of the ball and dribble it into the goal. As well as football and games like Crossbar Challenge and Dizzy Penalties, you can also have a go at other nutty team and individul challenges.

This is one session of kick-a-bout that the lads won’t forget for a long time. Start off with a round of Bubble Football, which has long been one of our most popular and fun stag activities. You’ll be strapped into Zorb-like inflatable balls, so that only your legs are sticking out, then take part in a series of games such as Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Sumo and Last Man Standing, as well as trying to actually get the ball in the net. All while bouncing around the pitch sending each other flying!

Afterwards, enjoy a few rounds of Ballseye. Which is exactly what it sounds like. A giant dart board will be set up on the pitch, and you’ll take it in turns booting a velcro football to see who can score the most points. Each activity is between 60 and 90 minutes depending on your group size, and you’ll have trained coaches at hand to referee as well as make sure there are no balls ups. 
 

Football is a game of skill, poise and balance – usually involving the use of all four limbs. But what happens if you take the use of arms out of the equation and stick each player in a giant inflatable sphere down to their knees? Well you and your group will have to wait and see what this involes when you are on site....

After you have finished rolling the stag around for nearly an hour you'll get another opportunity to all have some bow and arrows to shoot at eachother! A mixture of Dodgeball and Archery, this is the new 'must' for an Adrenalin packed Stag weekend. Your instructor will explain the rules of the game and get you set up for the battle to end all battles! 

This is a brilliant stag combo that will have you and the boys laughing about your experiences well into the night. You’ll start things off with a session of Bubble Football which, if you’re new to the concept, is bizarre and amazingly fun. You’ll each be strapped into a giant inflatable ball so that only your legs are poking out of the bottom. Then you’ll be split into teams for a kick-a-bout, trying to keep your balance while also trying to knock the opposing players off their feet. But don’t worry, soft landings are guaranteed.

After a quick breather, you’ll then line up for a session of Dodgeball. Made famous by the Ben Stiller movie, this event always gets seriously competitive as you try and pick your friends off across a series of challenges. Beware, once people start ‘getting their arm in’, you’ll need to be fast on your feet to dodge them. All the equipment needed for both activities is provided, and you’ll also have trained coaches at hand to referee the games so you can get on with the action.
 

If you were one of those who never picked up a trophy at school sports day, or were always two left feet when playing footie in the playground, then you’ll find a lot to love about this laugh-packed stag combo activity. First off, a session of Bubble Football. If you’ve never done this before, it’s hilarious. You’ll be strapped into giant inflatable balls with just your legs poking out, then play a ludicrous game of football where every tackle sends you and your opponent flying, only to bounce around completely unharmed. The hard bit is getting back up! 

After you’ve regained your sense of balance and had a quick breather, you’ll love an old-school Sports Day, where the group is divided into ‘Houses’ and then compete against each other in a series of classic games. Sack races, egg and spoon races, wheelbarrow races and of course that traditional favourite: the tug of war. This nostalgic activity is a big favourite with stag groups, letting you unleash your competitive nature in the daftest way possible.
 

You lads love a kick-around? Then this fantastic package of activities is just the right addition to a Bristol stag do. Unless you’ve kept up with your Sunday league kick abouts a proper game of eleven a side might literally kill some of the less fit members of your stag do. But with bubble and binocular football you’ll still get to experience all the greatness that the beautiful game has to offer, just in an environment that’s more about giving you a great time and less about giving you a coronary.

Once you meet up at a central Bristol venue things start off much like a regular game of five a side. You throw on your shinnies and boots, but with the addition of one notable piece of kit, goggles. These binocular goggles make objects appear much closer, or much further away than you’d expect. Basically there’s a lot of air kicking and laughing at your mate’s godawful attempts to score.

But your event doesn’t end  there. As soon as you’ve got out of your binocular goggles you’ll be strapping into an even more complex device. Bubble football is played, as you might have guessed, from inside a huge bubble. These mini zorbs envelop your upper half and make such simple things as balance and coordination a thing of the past. You’ll be bouncing off the walls as you try to score!

During your structured session you’ll get to play plenty of games including bulldog. From inside one of these bubbles you can really let loose and run full pelt into your mates.

Whether you play for pints or just for bragging rights, this is a fantastic day of football fun that provides banter for the rest of your stag.
