Please check out the HUNGERBALL® hire locations at https://hungerball.com/hire/. As prices vary across locations the booking forms for each location will provide accurate information on the local prices.
What is the minimum and the recommended hire time?
2 hours is our minimum hire time, with options to hire for more hours as needed (e.g. 2 hours recommended for up to 25 participants, 3 hours for up to 35 participants, 4 hours for up to 45 participants or 6 hours for over 50 participants).
What is the footprint needed for the HUNGERBALL® arena?
The standard size is 10m in diameter. Some arenas are a bit larger, e.g. 12 m in diameter. Please check with your local HUNGERBALL® Associate.
What surface do we need to set up?
As the HUNGERBALL® arena does not have a floor and can be set up on any reasonably flat surface, e.g. grass, turf, sand, or concrete (shoes on only).
Do we need access to power?
As the HUNGERBALL® arena is constantly inflated by an air blower, access to a regular 3-phase power outlet is needed within a maximum of 25-30m from the setup location. If this is unavailable, a generator must be sourced or hired.
How long does the set up and pack down take?
Our operators will arrive at least 15 minutes before the event for set-up. Pack down takes 15-20 minutes. Both set up and pack up are free of charge.
Does the HUNGERBALL® arena come with a coach or can we hire out and run it ourselves?
All HUNGERBALL® Facilitators were trained to deliver the games in fun and inclusive ways, and they are expected to deliver at all events except for those organisers who have previously run the HUNGERBALL® games on multiple occasions.
How many players can be engaged in a given time?
HUNGERBALL® coaches are trained to run events to suit groups of different ages and skill levels. Once we understand the needs of your group/event, our coaches will select the most appropriate ways to run the games.
What HUNGERBALL® games are being run?
The HUNGERBALL® ways to play include Football/Soccer, Pool Noodle Hockey and Endgame (with a bigger bouncy ball with both hands and feet used). Games can be played using one or two players per goal, 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, rotation and competition modes. Our Facilitators are trained to select games to suit the needs of each group.
What ages does HUNGERBALL® suit?
HUNGERBALL® suits ages 3 to 93+ years old. Kids over the age of 6 tend to understand the rules easily. For health and safety reasons, we recommend children under 5 play in the arena only when supported by a parent inside the arena.
Can HUNGERBALL® be played by special needs participants?
Yes, the HUNGERBALL® methodology includes dedicated sessions developed specifically for all abilities.
What are the cancellation terms?
Cancellations with less than 24 hours will incur a 50% fee, while fees are payable in full for cancellations less than an hour before the event.
Can we fundraise using HUNGERBALL®?
Yes, HUNGERBALL® suits well as a fundraising tool. While HUNGERBALL® coaches cannot collect any money, we would be happy to provide your staff with information and advice on fundraising options on request.
Is it possible to hire or lease HUNGERBALL® long-term?
Yes, if you are interested in longer-term events from 2 or 3 days to a whole year, contact us to speak about our special hire/lease offers.
