Bubble Ball

Clint Austin/Duluth News Tribune

The rules of KnockerBall are similar to soccer’s. Players are divided into two teams based on the colors of the KnockerBall.

Sumo wrestling meets soccer in KnockerBall, a wacky game that’s sweeping the U.S. Players try to kick a ball into their opponents’ goal while wearing inflatable spheres. At the same time, they’re knocking into each other like human bumper cars!

The wearable KnockerBalls come in two sizes: large, which weighs 28 pounds, and small, which weighs 22 pounds. Adjustable shoulder straps allow people to wear the balls like backpacks.

Though adults and kids alike are enjoying KnockerBall, the game is not recommended for people under 4 feet tall for safety reasons.
