Kick Off the Party With Two Football Activities
Forget extra time. Football Package gets straight to the action with Football Bouncy Castle 15 x 11ft and Football Shootout booked together.
One gives children somewhere to bounce between matches, cake and party food. The other puts their shooting accuracy to the test. It's a natural combination for a football birthday and also gives school, club and community events two activities built around the same sport.
First Half: Football Bouncy Castle
Football Bouncy Castle 15 x 11ft provides the main bouncing area, with football graphics carrying the theme through the inflatable itself.
For a football-mad birthday child, that means you don't have to rely entirely on decorations to establish the theme. Add their favourite team's colours, football tableware, a football cake or shirts and scarves around the room and you're already well on your way to a match-day party.
Second Half: Who Can Hit the Target?
Football Shootout introduces a completely different challenge.
Rather than another bouncing attraction, children can take turns shooting at the target and seeing how accurate they are. It can be played casually throughout the event or turned into your own competition.
Write down everyone's scores, organise a penalty competition or give each player a set number of attempts. You can even stage a final between the highest scorers before the party finishes.
A Package That Actually Sticks to the Game Plan
Both activities have a reason to be here. The Football Bouncy Castle handles the free play while Football Shootout gives children a challenge with a clear objective.
That makes the package particularly useful when some children want to compete and others would rather just bounce and play.
There's no need to referee an entire afternoon either. The Football Shootout can become a competition when you want it to, then return to casual play afterwards.
Perfect Fixtures for the Football Package
A football-themed birthday is the obvious home fixture, but this combination can make sense at other events too.
- Football club presentation days
- School fêtes and sports events
- Community fun days
- Charity fundraisers
- End-of-season celebrations
- Family events with football-loving children
The shootout is particularly handy when you're planning an event with several activity points because it offers something quite different from conventional bouncy castles.
Planning Your Own Mini Tournament
If you want to make more of the football theme, a simple score sheet is enough to turn the shootout into a tournament.
Give each player the same number of shots and record the results. Depending on your event, you could have separate rounds, team totals or a knockout stage. For a birthday party, the birthday child could even take the opening penalty.
Just make sure your competition doesn't go to penalties. That could get confusing.
Check the Pitch Before Match Day
You don't need Wembley, but you do need enough usable space for both pieces of equipment.
The Football Bouncy Castle measures 15ft x 11ft, with additional clearance required for safe installation and operation. Football Shootout also needs an appropriate operating area.
For an indoor booking, check the venue's floor dimensions, ceiling height and access. For outdoor events, the site must provide suitable space and ground conditions for the equipment being installed.

Want to Build a Bigger Football Event?
You can keep things strictly football-related or introduce other activities around the main theme.
Our wider party packages provide other combinations, while Assault Courses can add racing and obstacle-based play at larger events. garden games can also provide something for guests who aren't spending the entire day chasing a ball.
For events involving younger children, take a look at soft play for suitable indoor options.
Home Fixtures Around Gloucestershire
We provide the Football Package for suitable events in Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Cirencester and elsewhere in Gloucestershire.
Outdoor inflatable bookings operate during our outdoor season and remain dependent on suitable ground and weather. Inflatables cannot operate when wind speeds or gusts reach 24mph. We don't provide outdoor inflatable hires between October and March, although suitable indoor bookings continue during these months.
We'll Handle the Pre-Match Setup
Our team delivers the equipment, installs it in the agreed positions and carries out the appropriate setup checks before use. We'll return for collection after the agreed hire period.
Equipment is cleaned between hires. Inflatables are tested in accordance with applicable PIPA requirements, electrical equipment is PAT tested where required, and we hold £5 million public liability insurance. Children must be appropriately supervised while using the equipment.
