Every once in a while a new sport comes along that pushes the body to the extreme. It requires coordination, athleticism, and skill. One of the latest crazes to hit Silicon Valley requires none of these.

Bubble Soccer started in Norway in 2011, as somewhat of a joke.

Today, it’s played across the U.S. for parties and team building exercises at companies like Google, Facebook, and many more.

Owner Caburian says there’s such a demand for the game that he plans to launch an actual Silicon Valley league.
