Music and Sports / Samba Referees
Bossaball mixes sport with music. Bossaball 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.Rules / Scoring / How to play
Bossaball can be played in teams of 3 or 4 or 5 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, meanwhile the trampoline jumper gains height to prepare a (spectacular) 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 it gains 1 point. Scoring on the trampolines is worth 3 points. Hitting the bossawall (= the red rings around the trampolines) doesn't count as a score, so the rally continues.
Bossaball shares game elements with Slamball and Footvolley.
