Kids Bubble Football Suits – 1.2 m for Schools, Clubs and Birthday Parties
Junior bubbles with a 1.2 m diameter in PVC or TPU – single or in packages. From a certified distributor since 2008.
Kids bubble football suits have a 1.2 m diameter instead of 1.5 m and fit children about 1.20 to 1.60 m tall, which usually means ages of roughly 7 to 12. Bubble Allstars supplies kids bubbles in PVC or TPU, individually or in packages of 8, 12 and 24, with a 24-month warranty and a free carry bag and repair kit with every ball.
Kids bubble football suits for schools, clubs and rental businesses
Anyone buying bubble football suits for kids is usually equipping a group: a PE class, a club's youth section, a community summer fair or a rental business that runs children's parties. Every one of these uses has the same requirements – the bubbles have to fit the children properly, sit securely and survive a lot of games.
As a certified distributor based in Vienna, we have supplied schools, clubs, leisure centres and rental businesses across Europe since 2008. You receive a tailored quote within 24 hours for your quantity and your choice of material.
How is a 1.2 m kids bubble different from an adult bubble?
A kids bubble is built exactly like an adult bubble but is 30 cm smaller in diameter. That makes it lighter, keeps it closer to the body and lets children see over and in front of the ball to the ground. Running becomes more controlled and getting back up after a fall is easier.
An adult bubble is too heavy and hard to steer for a primary-school child, while a bubble that is too small restricts a teenager's movement. That is why size is chosen by body height – the table further down shows which size suits which group.

Where kids bubble football suits are used
Most kids bubbles go to organisations that use them regularly – not for a single afternoon.
Schools and PE lessons
Bubble football brings movement into PE lessons, project days and school fairs, and it wins over children who normally show little interest in ball games. A set of your own is available whenever you need it, in the sports hall or on the playing field.
Clubs and youth work
For youth sections, holiday programmes and club festivals, kids bubbles are an activity that draws children in and builds team spirit. Because the bubbles adjust to different heights, one set fits a whole age group.
Birthday parties and kids' events
Children's birthday parties are one of the most popular occasions for bubble football. Anyone who hosts them regularly – an indoor play centre, a leisure park or an event company – gains a permanent programme with kids bubbles of their own.
Rental and event businesses
With 1.2 m bubbles, rental businesses widen their audience: alongside corporate events and stag parties they can serve children's birthdays, school fairs and family days.
Which size fits? Size chart by height and age
Body height decides, not age. Age is only a guide, because children of the same age can differ a lot in height.
| Player height | Age (guide) | Recommended bubble size |
|---|---|---|
| under about 1.20 m | younger children, usually under 7 | Not yet recommended – the child can hardly control the bubble safely |
| about 1.20 to 1.60 m | roughly 7 to 12 years | Kids bubble, 1.2 m diameter |
| from about 1.60 m | teenagers from about 12 and adults | Standard bubble, 1.5 m diameter |
A simple check: the head should sit comfortably in the upper part of the bubble, the hands should reach the handles and the straps should hold the bubble without it slipping. Children on the borderline between two sizes usually manage better in the 1.2 m bubble.
Kids and adult bubbles: getting the split right
Schools with several year groups and rental businesses with changing groups often have players of both sizes. Younger children belong in kids bubbles, while older pupils, teachers or parents use adult bubbles – so nobody ends up in the wrong size.
Tell us in your enquiry how many bubbles you need in each size and for which age groups, and we confirm the line-up in your quote.
Supervision and safety: the basics
Bubble football is safe for children when a few simple rules are applied consistently:
- Always have adult supervision at the pitch – and several supervisors for larger groups.
- Play on a level surface free of obstacles, ideally grass or a sports hall, with no hard edges nearby.
- Bubble-to-bubble contact only and no charging from behind – the child must see the collision coming.
- Keep games short with breaks, and adjust the straps to each child before every game.
PVC or TPU for kids?
Both materials work for kids bubbles. The difference lies in comfort, odour and how often the bubbles are used.
| Feature | PVC | TPU |
|---|---|---|
| Comfort | firmer, slightly stiffer | softer and more supple, gives more in collisions |
| Weight | slightly heavier | lighter – children tire less quickly |
| Odour | typical plastic smell when new, which fades over time | odour-free, pleasant in sports halls and indoors |
| Cold weather | becomes stiffer at low temperatures | stays flexible even below freezing |
| Purchase | lower cost, good for occasional use | higher cost, pays off with frequent use |
For schools, clubs and rental businesses whose kids bubbles are used often, indoors or by many groups, we recommend TPU. For occasional outdoor use, PVC is a solid and more affordable choice.
Which package suits children?
For a school class, a youth group or a birthday party, a package of 8 or 12 kids bubbles (1.2 m) is usually enough: eight bubbles give two teams of four, and twelve let you play up to six-a-side or rotate players through breaks.
Rental businesses and venues with many groups a day tend to choose the 24-ball package. Carry bags and repair kits are included free of charge.

Frequently asked questions about kids bubble football suits
From what age can children play bubble football?
Children can usually play bubble football from about 7 years old, once they are around 1.20 m tall. More important than age is that the child can stand, walk and get back up after a fall inside the bubble on their own. Younger or smaller children are better off watching.
What size bubble football suit do kids need?
Children about 1.20 to 1.60 m tall need the kids suit with a 1.2 m diameter. From about 1.60 m, the standard 1.5 m suit fits. The adjustable straps even out height differences within one size.
Is buying worth it for a children's birthday party?
For a single birthday party, renting is usually cheaper. Buying kids bubble football suits pays off when you use them regularly – as a rental or event business, a leisure venue, a school or a club that hosts children's parties and events often.
Can schools and councils order on invoice?
Schools, school authorities and councils receive a written quote within 24 hours that can be used for procurement and approval. The invoice is issued to the ordering organisation; payment terms and invoice currency are set out in the individual quote.
Can I order kids and adult bubbles together?
State in your enquiry how many bubbles you need in 1.2 m and in 1.5 m, and we confirm the line-up in the quote.
What are the warranty and delivery time?
Bubble Allstars gives a 24-month warranty on materials and workmanship for all kids bubble football suits. Delivery typically takes 14–20 business days across Europe, and we set out the delivery details for the UK in your quote.
