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.
