Bubble Soccer; it’s a first of its kind event in Habersham County and it’s happening tonight, Tuesday, September 30, at Piedmont College. Director of Student Activities and Campus Events, Natalie Crawford, says 125 students, faculty and staff have signed up to participate in this one-of-a-kind soccer game in which players are encased in large, plastic bubbles. While it’s relatively new to the States it’s all the rage in Australia and Europe (click here to watch video).
Tonight’s Bubble Soccer Event starts at 8 p.m. on the Walker Athletic Soccer Field behind Mize Athletic Center located at 1021 Central Avenue, Demorest, Georgia. If it rains the event will be moved inside to the gymnasium.
Crawford says a crew from CNN in Atlanta is expected to videotape the event for a feature story that will air at a later date.
The public is invited to come view the game. There is no admission charge.
