Bossaball

What is bossaball?

Bossaball is a sport invented in Spain which combines many other sports such as volleyball, soccer, gymnastics and capoeira. The two most famous selection teams come from Spain and Brazil.

A combination of trampolines and inflatables is used to create a bossaball court. The court is divided into half by a net standing in the middle. It takes about 45 minutes to set up the court and be ready to play.

How to play?

The number of players in each team is from 3 to 5. In order to score, the ball has to be land on the court of the opponent. Each team can contact the ball maximum 8 times on its own court before returning it to the opposite side. These contacts can be exercised by any part of the body. However, players can touch maximum once with their hands, twice with the feet or heads.

What is the score?

The team lands the ball on the opponent’s inflatables gets 1 point. Scoring on the trampoline gets 3 points. Hitting the rings around the trampolines does not count a score and the rally continues.

The team scored can serve the ball. If the team serves and scores the point, the player who served the previous ball has to serve the next ball. If they do not score and the position of players on the field have to be rotated clockwise. The team scores 25 points first will win the set. There are 3 sets in one match. Winning 2 sets continuously means winning the match.
