Bossaball

Bossaball is a mix of (beach) volleyball, football, gymnastics and capoeira. The court is a combination of inflatables and trampolines, divided by a net.

Rules, Scoring, and Playing

Bossaball can be played in teams of three to five players. 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, while the trampoline jumper gains height to prepare a 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.

Once a team grounds the ball on the inflatables they gain one point. Scoring on the trampolines is worth three points. Hitting the bossawall - the rings around the trampolines - doesn't count as a score, so the rally continues.

Bossaball shares game elements with Slamball and Footvolley.

Music and Sports / Samba Referees

Bossaball mixes sport with music.

On special occasions bossaball referees (samba referees) have a whistle, a microphone, various percussion instruments and a disc jockeyset. They referee the game and control the soundtrack. Players play to the music / The music follows the game.

Bossaball brings elements of capoeira, samba, breakdance, football, volleyball, acrobatics and circus together on a single pitch.
