For Game On, KnockerBall is a partner.
The inflatables are not kept at the facility
but are outsourced. "If someone calls for a
party, we call our representative right away,
ask him if he's available on that day. We
don't have to worry about storing, returning
or maintaining them.
Total Turf Experience in Pitman, New
Jersey, was one of the first facilities to
participate in BubbleBall. "Usually we
encourage 6 v 6 games, because they do
get heavy after a while, and you get hot,
so we tell the kids to take turns," says
manager Dawn Krough. "If a party has 20
to 25 kids, there's no need to use more
than 12 balls if you're just going to have a
6 v 6 game."
The wearable inflatables come in different
sizes for kids and adults. "It depends what you
can hold," says Dawn.
Not only has the number of birthday parties
at these facilities continued to increase,
Bubble Ball and KnockerBall also increase field
rentals. Businesses schedule games as team-
building activities, and sports teams celebrate
the end of their season with a game of Bubble
Kickball or Knocker Soccer. "The kids love it,"
says Dawn.
