ZORB Football
ZORB Football
Please Note: We are unable to offer ZROB football to anyone over the approximate age of 14 at present.
ZORB, also known as Bubble, Football is a laugh-a-minute, non-stop football experience like you have never had before.
It's the perfect way to offer something completely different for Birthday Parties and a whole host of other events.
ZORB Football is suitable for players of 7 years and upwards, but players under the age of 16 will need a parents or guardians consent.
There is however a maximum weight limit of 118 Kgs and a maximum height limit is 1.9 meters (6 foot 2 inches).
Your body goes inside the ZORB, or bubble, you put the straps over your shoulders and hold onto the hand grips inside.
Your legs are on the outside so you can run... or at try to.
There is a hole above your head to let in air and for you to see out of if you bend forward.
Star Turf Staff hold a safety briefing before you start, which includes tips on how to get back up if you fall over.
There are a maximum of 8 players on the field at any one time, but no restriction on the amount of players that can sub on and off.
We do however recommend having at least 10 or12 players available.
ZORB football is very physical, so therefore we do not advise members of the party that suffer, or have suffered, from the following to participate.
-
Any heart conditions/problems
-
High blood pressure
-
Chest pains when exercising
-
Bone or joint problems
-
Back problems

Any serious injuries within the last 12 months
If you are suffering from, or have suffered with, anything in the list and you still wish to participate then this activity is done solely at your own risk.
Star Turf will not be held liable for any injuries obtained while playing ZORB football and a Waiver of Liability must be signed by every player BEFORE commencing play.
All players must wear flat shoes (i.e. trainers, NO studs) and you will get hot, so we recommend you wear light weight clothes.
