Subsoccer

Subsoccer is a fast two-player football game played with your feet. Each player sits inside the frame, their feet guard their own goal, and they try to knock a size 4 ball into the other player's goal. A game takes a couple of minutes, depending on how good the two players are. It's £135 a day, £81 for a second day, or £60 extra to keep it overnight.

Who is it for?

Ages 8 and up, adults included. It's not one for little children: their legs won't reach the ball, so they can't really play. For younger footballers, our penalty shootout (£90) works from age 5.

Space and surface

The frame is 4ft x 6ft and 3ft high. Leave a space of 6ft x 8ft with 4ft of height, and a way in at least 3ft wide. Inside it wants a hard floor; outside, grass. There's no plug to find, so it'll fit in a function room or the corner of a garden where a castle won't fit.

Where it's been

One July a pub in Leamington booked it for themselves. Another year, one June, it was booked for a 30th birthday in a back garden in Kenilworth. Delivery to Kenilworth is free once the order reaches £110.

What goes with it

• Kick & Stick football darts (£90), which needs 11.5 x 10.9ft and 12.2ft of height
• basketball shootout (£90), which needs 14.2 x 19.5ft and 14.9ft of height, so it's usually an outdoor one
• table football (£55), the hands version, outside only under cover

Booking

I'm Luke, and I bring and set up the Subsoccer myself. Pubs and companies usually want to see our insurance before we arrive: we hold £5m public liability cover and I'll email the certificate over. You pay a £25 admin fee to book, then the rest two weeks out. We've passed 400 five-star Google reviews. Send me your date and postcode and I'll check it's free.
