Milwaukee Bubblers, Inc., launched an Indiegogo fundraising campaign to raise $12,000 to bring the sport of “Bubble Soccer” to Milwaukee and greater Southeast Wisconsin. A launch party will be hosted at Café Benelux (436 N. Broadway) on Oct. 29. Tournament play begins 2015.
Bubble Soccer has players competing in a modified game of soccer, wearing bubble suits covering them from head to thigh. Each 30 minute game features five players per side and no goal-keepers. Originating in Norway in 2011 this sport has grown in popularity and demand worldwide, with spectators and players roaring with laughter at the comic results.
Jillian Imilkowski, Milwaukee Bubblers co-founder, says, “It’s your chance to be a human wrecking ball without getting hurt!”
Milwaukee Bubblers will offer Bubble Soccer tournament style play (teams register), monthly public drop-in games (individuals sign up in advance and day-of), private rental (birthdays, non-profit events, parties, etc.) and corporate team building. Private and corporate events now booking through website.
Games will be held in a variety of locations, including the Milwaukee School of Engineering Kern Center, local parks and corporate locations.
