Knockerball Frequently Asked Questions
A Knockerball is an encompassing, protective inflatable ball with inner handles and adjustable shoulder straps that you wear like a backpack to play a variety of games like soccer and tag. It comes down to your knees so you can run around while but protects your head, so you can go upside-down safely.
We provide the full setup of the Knockerballs (delivery, inflation and breakdown). We will provide you with some options of "games" to play. With a rental of 6 or more balls, we will also provide a soccer ball and goals, different colored jerseys so you can identify your "teammates" and a referee to help run the games. If you know who will be on your team ahead of time, color coordinate, dress up, have fun!
Our pricing is based on how many balls you rent, not the amount of people participating. We recommend customers rent about half the amount of balls that you have people for a standard 2 hour rental (example 20-30 people = 10 ball rental, 40-60 people = 20 ball rental) Keep in mind that you also need the space for the amount of balls you rent. Lots of people and not a lot of space, consider adding more time.
There is no age requirement per say.....it is more of a height and strength limit because it may be difficult to play Knocker Soccer and carry the ball on your shoulders (ball weighs14- 17 lbs.) but people of all ages can at least get inside the balls and just roll around. In order to pick-up and play games with small ball, we recommend 8 to 11 years old. 12 and up we recommend the large ball.
