Bubble Soccer comes to Utah State University

This March the Utah State University Latino Student Union will host a Bubble Soccer tournament. Bubble Soccer is a new version of soccer. Players stand inside clear, plastic, inflatable orbs that are four to six feet in diameter. The players must use their own soccer techniques to get the ball into the net before they are bounced out of the way by the competitors with their bubbles. The tournament will take place March 27-28 on the USU Quad and Legacy Field.

“Soccer, food and dancing are our most popular events,” said Grecia Jimenez, LSU Vice President. “These events are made possible with the money the club raises during the fundraiser.”

Each team is required to pay a fee of $50. This event will help provide LSU with funds for future events.

“The money collected goes to the club fund, which is used for scholarships, club activities and more Bubble Soccer,” Jimenez said. “LSU has to do a fundraiser each year to be able to do fun activities for the club members and campus students. Without fundraising, the club has almost no resources.”

According to Eddie Campos, LSU President, each year the LSU hosts a soccer tournament to raise money for the club. This year will be the first year the organization has attempted a Bubble soccer tournament.

“Bubble soccer is a fun event that we are all looking forward to,” said Sarah Ramos, the Activities Coordinator.

According to Jimenez, each team is guaranteed to play at least three games. The LSU is limiting the number of teams to sign up at 24 due to a limited number of bubbles.

“Hopefully in the process of this tournament we will be able to meet new friends, welcome new members and have a good time with fellow Aggies,” Campos said. “I am just counting down the days to be able to get into one of the bubble balls for the tournament.
