Bossaball

It is a ball game between two teams that mixes volleyball, football, gymnastics and capoeira on a court. This one is a combination of inflatables and trampolines divided by a net. The aim is to ground the ball in the opponent’s field.

Each team, of three to five players, is entitled to a maximum of eight contacts with the ball in its field while the trampoline jumper gains height to prepare a smash. They can touch the ball once with their hands or double touch it with their feet and/or head. Once a team grounds the ball on the inflatable it gains 1 point, or 3 points if scored on the trampolines.

The referees have a whistle, a microphone, percussion instruments and a DJ who is the master of ceremonies.
