Bubble Soccer ⚽️ on the Beach ⛱️🌊 - No Experience Needed!
Monty’s Dog Beach & Bar, 5098 E Ocean BLVD,, Long Beach, CA, 90803, United States
If all the World Cup action has you yearning to hear someone yell “**GOOOOOAAAAAL**” while you run across the sand, this one is for you.
We’re teaming up with David’s group, [Living LA and OC](https://www.meetup.com/living-la-and-oc/), for a Bubble Soccer Beach Day right next to Monty’s. Get ready to crash, bounce, roll, run, laugh, and crash again in a ridiculous, hilarious, and surprisingly intense game of bubble soccer.
You’ll be soaking up the beach views while watching your teammates bounce around like human beach balls. And no, you do not need to know how to play soccer. We may attempt a little actual soccer, but we’ll also be playing other games, including Last Man Standing, which already sounds worth the price of admission.
We’ll have the play area for two hours, but you will not be in a bubble the whole time. Bubble soccer is exhausting, and most people only play for about 5–15 minutes at a time, so we’ll be rotating players in and out throughout the event. You can play, rest, hydrate, laugh at everyone else, and jump back in when you’re ready.
The cost to play is **$28 per person**, and you must RSVP and pay in advance if you want to participate.
**Spectators are welcome and do not need to pay or officially sign up**. Bring your squad, or just meet us down there if you want to watch and are not quite ready to play. We’ll have different wristbands for players and spectators so we can keep track of who is playing.
We’ll have water, drinks, oranges, and other goodies for the players. We’ll also have music and two refs to help keep everything moving.
After the games, anyone who wants to keep hanging out can walk over to Monty’s for food, drinks, and some well-earned recovery time.
Check out this video to see the game in action:
https://youtu.be/Gx6CctkLM6A?si=2GC9YGlYUaXi3aUz
**WHO:**
Open to anyone 18 and up. Even though soccer is in the name, you do not need soccer skills to join. Please know this is a physically demanding activity. We’ll have more people than bubbles, so there will be plenty of time to rest, but it will be intense. The owner says 20 minutes in the ball can feel like an hour of cardio.
**WHERE:**
On the sand next to Monty’s, on the opposite side of the dog beach. Afterward, we’ll stroll over to Monty’s for food, drinks, and recovery. Actual location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7nC4vLGhRFvdUzjQ7
**WHEN:**
Please arrive by **5:00 PM** so you can get settled, see how everything works, and maybe get some practice time in. Games will run from **5:30–7:30 PM**.
**WHAT TO BRING:**
Dress like you are working out on the beach. Bring water, and feel free to bring your own food or drinks. You may also want to bring a chair or towel so you have somewhere to sit while you rest. Spectators should bring the same.
This should be an amazing beach event, a great Instagram moment, and a ton of fun. Come ready to move, laugh, and possibly get knocked over in the least graceful way possible.
See ya soon!

🤣 Human Bumper Balls! Beach Games, Laughs & Good Times
Monty’s Dog Beach & Bar, 5098 E Ocean BLVD,, Long Beach, CA, 90803, United States
Get ready to laugh until your stomach hurts!
Climb into a giant inflatable bubble, bounce into your friends, roll across the sand, and discover why this might be the funniest thing you’ll do all summer.
We’re teaming up with David’s group, **Living LA and OC**, for an afternoon of giant bubble games on the beach right next to Monty’s.
Even though people often call it Bubble Soccer, you don’t need to know anything about soccer. Think human bumper cars with a beach view.
We’ll be playing a variety of silly games, including Last Man Standing, relay-style challenges, and other hilarious activities that are guaranteed to have everyone laughing, whether you’re inside a bubble or cheering from the sidelines.
Everyone plays in short rounds, so you’ll have plenty of time to catch your breath, grab a drink, laugh at everyone else’s spectacular wipeouts, and jump back in when you’re ready.
The cost to play is **$28 per person**, and you’ll need to RSVP and pay in advance to reserve your spot.
**Not sure you want to play? Come watch!**
Spectators are welcome and don’t need to RSVP or pay. Bring some friends, enjoy the beach, cheer everyone on, and if you decide you want to jump in, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting yourself into.
We’ll have water, drinks, oranges, music, and two refs to keep everything running smoothly.
When we’re finished, anyone who wants to keep hanging out can walk over to Monty’s for food, drinks, and beachside stories about evening of bumper balls.
**WHO:**
Anyone 18 or older is welcome.
This event is perfect if you’ve never played before. No soccer experience is needed. You’ll be playing in short turns with plenty of breaks between rounds, so everyone gets a chance to play, relax, and cheer each other on.
**WHERE:**
On the sand next to Monty’s, across from Dog Beach.
Afterward, we’ll head over to Monty’s for anyone who wants to grab food or drinks and keep the fun going.
Location:
[https://maps.app.goo.gl/7nC4vLGhRFvdUzjQ7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/7nC4vLGhRFvdUzjQ7)
**WHEN**
Please arrive by **5:00 PM** so everyone can check in, get fitted for a bubble, and learn how everything works.
Games begin at **5:30 PM** and run until **7:30 PM**.
**WHAT TO BRING:**
Wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting sandy.
Bring water, sunscreen, and anything else you’d normally bring to the beach. A towel or beach chair is also a great idea while you’re relaxing between rounds.
Whether you’re playing, watching, or just coming to meet new people, this is going to be one of those events you’ll be talking about long after!
See you on the beach!
See ya soon!
