Bubble Soccer; it’s a first of its kind event in Habersham County and it’s happening tonight, Tuesday, September 30, at Piedmont College. Â 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. Â 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. Â There is no admission charge.
