Bubble soccer has also grown into a popular sport, with leagues and tournaments popping up across the country. Whether you’re looking to create a facility to house your own team or plan to host parties and events, it’s important to start with the right flooring.
Qualities to Look for in Bubble Soccer Flooring
An indoor facility is ideal for bubble soccer, since you can create a controlled environment and eliminate items like rocks that could puncture the bubbles. Choosing the right flooring will help to make game play safer and more enjoyable.
Shock Absorption
It’s important to choose a flooring that offers some shock absorption. That absorption can help to reduce the impact that players, whether they’re kids or adults, sustain, making the game safer and more comfortable.
Shock absorption can reduce the impact that players’ joints receive during a game. With that reduced impact, players will be able to enjoy longer games and are more likely to visit your venue more often.
Traction
Traction is also important for your flooring. Think about the types of shoes that your players are most likely to wear, and look for a product that helps to maximize traction for those shoe types.
A floor that offers adequate traction can help to prevent slips and falls, contributing to athlete safety. It should offer enough traction to allow athletes to stop suddenly, spin, and run.
Durability
Your soccer field will see plenty of use, especially if you will be hosting tournaments and competitions. Choosing a flooring product that can withstand that type of use can maximize your investment.
Look for a product that is designed for commercial use and that can sustain significant foot traffic. You may also want to consider the maintenance that the product needs.
Ease of Installation
Choosing a product that you can install yourself can save you both money and time. A permanent installation may be ideal if you know that you will use the court specifically for bubble soccer and other comparable sports.
If you think the space might need to serve for multiple uses, then consider a modular flooring that you can remove in the future if needed, which will preserve the space’s versatility.
Cost
It’s also important to choose a product that fits within your budget. Installing the flooring yourself can help to save money and keep costs down.
