THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT

Zorbing is created by Andrew Akers and Dwane van der Sluis
They chose to build a Zorb prototype because they were fascinated by the thought of rolling down a hill while inside a gigantic ball.
The original concept was to be able to walk on water and play on the beach. The issue was that you were unable to control it, and we were concerned that you might drift away to South America, so instead we began rolling people down hills.

THE RULES OF THE SPORT

Using enormous zorbs, two teams of five players compete on a five-a-side football field. Players have to hold onto the zorb to stay inside the game, pass the ball to their teammates, and attempt to score as many goals as they can! A friendly game typically lasts for half an hour.
