What is Bossaball? It’s the newest
sport of the 21st century. It’s a ball game between 2
teams, and it’s a mix of volleyball, football, gymnastics and
capoeira.
The court is a combination of
inflatables and trampolines, divided by a net.
It takes less than 45 minutes to set it
all up and get ready to play...

How do you play ?
The aim of bossaball is for each team
to ground the ball on the opponent's field. Each team is entitled to
a maximum of 8 contacts with the ball on its own field, meanwhile the
trampoline jumper gains height to prepare a (spectacular) smash. Any
body part can be used. Players can touch the ball only once with
their hands, or double touch it with their feet and/or head.
Bossaball games have optional Samba
Referees. These guys (or girls) have a whistle, percussion
instruments and DJ gear, so they keep the rhythm going throughout the
game.
