Soccer Simulator Rental for Corporate Events

With our soccer simulator, guests kick a real ball at a big screen and see the shot scored on the spot. Anyone can step up in office shoes, and everyone nearby wants a turn after the first goal.

Sports games at our past events

We run sports games for crowds: VR soccer in a car museum and VR baseball and hockey on an outdoor plaza.

    For a five-hour family celebration, two guests played at once on two screens the whole room could see. That was two-player VR soccer at the Marconi Automotive Museum, with our attendant on duty from start to finish.

    At Capital Group's summer social, sports stations shared one leaderboard, so colleagues competed across games. A soccer simulator slots into the same kind of program.

How the soccer simulator works

One kick tells a guest everything they need to know. That's why the line forms fast.

The guest stands on a strip of turf and kicks a real ball at the screen. A goalkeeper and targets wait on the screen. The system reads where the shot lands and puts the score up straight away. Then the next guest steps up.

There are no rules to learn and no controller. Guests who'd never touch a video game will take a penalty in front of their colleagues, and the people watching react to every shot.

Penalty kick games for your crowd

We pick the game and the pace with you, based on how many guests you expect and what you want them to do.

Penalty shootout

A classic shootout. Each guest gets a set number of shots at the goalkeeper, and the best score wins.

Target challenge

Targets sit in the corners of the goal. Guests aim for them and collect points.

Repeat play

Guests come back to beat their own score or a colleague's. Live scoring keeps the ranking on screen.

A whole soccer zone

Put the simulator next to our sit-down soccer game rental or a VR soccer rental, and guests move between them.

What you get

You get a working station and a person to run it for the whole event.

  • Delivery and setup. We build the station, lay the turf and test it before guests arrive.
  • An operator. They hand out the ball, explain the rules and keep the line moving.
  • Live scoring. Every shot gets a score, and the best ones stay on screen.
  • Branding. Your logo or a sponsor's on the station. It's a natural fit for a sponsorship activation at a game-day party or a brand event.
  • Teardown. We pack up after the last kick.

Soccer simulator rental cost

Your quote covers your event exactly. We don't sell fixed packages. Every event gets a custom quote, and these details shape it:

  • Number of stations.
  • Event days and hours.
  • Your city and the distance from one of our two bases.
  • Venue access and load-in time.
  • Branding on the station and the score screen.
  • Prizes and a leaderboard.

Events with our sports stations

These two events show how we run sports games for a crowd.

Two-Player VR Soccer for a Bar Mitzvah at Marconi Automotive Museum, Tustin

Work done: For an evening party in a museum, we brought two stations with their own 55-inch TVs, so the setup didn't depend on the venue screens. We agreed power and Wi-Fi with the venue in advance. Access opened at 1 PM for a 5 to 10 PM celebration.

The soccer simulator at events

These frames show the station, the turf and where people stand to watch.

  • A guest lines up a penalty against the on-screen goalkeeper
  • The soccer simulator screen with targets around the goal
  • Colleagues cheer a goal at a company party
  • The soccer simulator set up on a trade show floor
  • A live score screen next to the soccer simulator

Documents for the venue

The venue gets our paperwork in time, so load-in isn't held up.

We send insurance documents to venues and organizers on request. We agree the load-in time, the room, the route in and the outlets with you and the venue before event day.

Where soccer stations go wrong

Most of these problems are avoidable if you plan for them before the day.

  • Balls flying around the room.

    Shots should end at the screen. The station is framed, and the operator keeps the line behind the kicking spot.

  • A long wait.

    If each guest takes ten shots, the line stops moving. We set a shot count that fits your guest numbers.

  • No score.

    Guests kick once and drift off. A score on screen gives them a target and a reason to return.

  • A slippery floor.

    A polished ballroom floor is a bad place to kick from. We lay turf where guests stand.

  • The wrong spot.

    A station near a doorway or a bar blocks traffic. We plan its place with your floor plan.

What arrives at your venue

  • A framed station with a large screen and targets
  • A real soccer ball and a turf strip to kick from
  • The game system with live scoring
  • A score screen, if you want a leaderboard

Here's what you get and what you need to have ready.

The station works in a ballroom, an office or a booth. We confirm the floor space, power and route in with your venue before you book. For other sports, see our sports games for events.

Who runs it

You don't need a volunteer from your team. We bring our own people.

  • Operator. Stays at the station for the whole event and updates the scores.
  • Event lead. Plans the spot and timing with you and the venue, leads setup and teardown and is your contact on site.

Questions

Is it for adults or kids?

Both. There's nothing to learn, so office teams, school groups and family parties all play the same game.

Do you rent a football simulator too?

If you mean soccer, yes, this is it. For American football or other sports, tell us what you need, and we'll confirm what we can bring.

Do guests need to be good at soccer?

No. A kick at a screen is enough, and the operator explains the game first.

Can it work at a trade show?

Yes. A shot at goal takes seconds, so visitors play and keep walking or stay to talk.

Is this a soccer dart game?

No. A soccer dart game is an inflatable board that the ball sticks to. Our simulator scores shots on a screen. If you want an inflatable game as well, tell us in your request, and we'll confirm what we can bring for your date. You can also browse our inflatable attractions.

How much space does it need?

Room for the frame, the turf strip and a short line. We confirm the layout with your venue.
