Zorb Team Building

Zorb Team Building is football with the sensible bits removed. Your team steps into giant inflatable zorbs, grips the handles, and tries to play while bouncing, rolling and gently sending colleagues off course. The ball still matters, of course, but so do balance, timing and the ability to laugh when a neat pass turns into a slow-motion tumble.

It is active, noisy and very easy to understand, which makes it a strong choice for corporate team building, charity fundraisers and relaxed evening events. People who love football get stuck in straight away. People who do not can still chase, block, cheer, dodge and enjoy the chaos without needing a tactical masterplan.

We bring the activity to life and keep it moving on the day, so your team can focus on the important work: getting back up, regrouping, and trying not to be flattened by finance.

Team Building, Competitive Objectives

Event Summary.

Zorb Team Building takes a familiar game and gives it a ridiculous new centre of gravity. Players climb into clear inflatable body zorbs, leaving their legs free to run, shuffle, turn and attempt something close to football. The result is simple to grasp and very funny to watch. A clean tackle becomes a bounce. A confident sprint becomes a wobble. A goal celebration may involve someone rolling gently onto their back like an upturned beetle.

The session works because nobody needs to be a footballer. The rules are easy, the kit does half the comedy, and the first collision usually removes any awkwardness in the group. Your team divides into sides, gets comfortable inside the zorbs, and starts with a few practice movements before the games begin. Once everyone has worked out how to move, stop and get upright again, the match play brings out the shouting, planning and very questionable defending.

There is plenty here for different personalities. The competitive ones will immediately start organising positions, calling for passes and claiming every bounce was deliberate. The quieter ones can join in through short bursts of play, marking space, cheering from the side and stepping into the action when they are ready. The sceptics tend to soften once they see a senior manager ricochet harmlessly away from the ball. It is hard to stay too formal when the room, pitch or activity space is full of wobbling plastic bubbles.

The arc of the event is clean and lively. People arrive, see the zorbs, and the mood changes before a whistle is even blown. We get the group set, explain how the activity runs, and make sure everyone understands how to move safely and sensibly in the kit. Then the games build from warm-up play into team challenges and matches, with natural breaks for swapping players and catching breath. The pace can stay light and social, or lean into the competition if that is what your team wants.

Zorb Football suits company away days, team socials, charity fundraisers and evening parties where you want people doing rather than just talking. It gives the group a shared story very quickly, because everyone sees the same daft moments and nobody has to force the bonding. It also cuts across departments well. People who rarely work together can be on the same side within minutes, shouting names, making space and applauding a goal that may or may not have been intentional.

The physical side is part of the appeal, but it is not about sporting polish. It is about joining in, reacting, laughing and finding a way to help your team while wrapped in a giant inflatable sphere. Some players will chase every ball. Others will become expert blockers, human bumpers or sideline commentators between turns. The best moments often come from the least expected places: a careful player making the winning touch, or the office show-off discovering that balance is not their strongest skill.

We bring the event kit and run the activity, so you are not left trying to work out how to manage a field of bouncing colleagues. Our role is to set the tone, keep the games moving and make sure the format fits the occasion. You bring the people, the reason for getting together and a space that works for active play. We handle the rest on the day, from getting everyone started to keeping the energy up without letting the chaos run the meeting.

This is a good pick when you want an event that feels relaxed but still gives people a proper release. It is visual, active and naturally social, so it works for teams who need a break from desks, presentations or polite networking. Nobody has to prepare a speech, solve a puzzle or pretend to enjoy forced small talk. They just step into a zorb, listen for the whistle, and try to move the ball while the rest of the team laughs them back onto their feet.

What event leads tell us

Proof from teams who've actually run one.

We have used NewWave Events a couple of times at Kohler. Though we had different event hosts each time both crews were superb, steering the atmosphere and activities with expertise that sets them apart. The activities and equipment were well designed and really helped us improve communications and relationships within our team whilst having fun. Thank you!
