Bubble Sports and Games - Wollongong, Illawrra, NSW

The most popular bumper/bubble sport involves players suited up in bumper balls and trying to score goals. The only rules are the out-of-bounds rules, everything else doesn't matter to keep it as simple and entertaining as possible.

Also known as Bull-rush. It involves one or 2 people being selected as bulldogs who stay inside the pitch. All other players line up on the goal side of the pitch and make a dash for the other side trying not to get bumped off their feet by the bulldogs. Anyone who gets knocked off their feet also becomes a bulldog on the next run. The last player remaining wins.

Can be played one-on-one or in a team format of 2 on 2. The objective is to bump the other player or team over or out of the ring. Best of 3/5 etc.
