Kick N Stick foot darts hire

Kick N Stick, also called foot darts, football darts or an inflatable football dartboard, is a giant inflatable dartboard you play with your feet. Players kick Velcro footballs at the board and the balls stick where they hit, so everyone can see the score. Ours is double-sided, with a black, white and red dartboard on one face for going after the bullseye, and the coloured Kick N Stick scoring board in yellow, red and blue on the other. It's made by Airquee, and it comes with a big hoop on a pole for getting the balls back off the board.

It's about 22ft long, 22ft high and 12ft wide once it's up, and it runs off one standard 13A domestic socket. We've set it up on school fields and sports grounds, outside at company events, and indoors in a sports hall, where you'll want the ceiling height to clear the top of it.

Where it gets used

It's a have-a-go game that children and adults can both play, and it tends to go to family fun days, sports clubs, school and college events, university days and corporate team-building. Sparsholt College had it at an applicants' welcome day alongside the photo booth, out near Winchester. It went to a company charity day in Southampton for a returning client, outside with the climbing wall and assault course while the rodeo bull and electrical games ran indoors. We also took it to the Gosport Summer Passport Scheme in Gosport with the 3-in-1 sports inflatable and the giant axe throwing, on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year.

If you'd like a football game with someone in goal, the giant Velcro football has target panels on a back wall and a soft base to dive about on, and the football games range has the speed cage and penalty shootout as well. There are more ideas for a work day on the corporate team-building page.

Hire from our Havant base

We've run Monster Event Hire from our unit in Havant since 2002 and we own all our kit, this included, so it's our own staff who deliver it and set it up. Our inflatables are PIPA-tagged and inspected every year, the electrics are PAT-tested, and we carry £10 million public liability insurance, with risk assessments and method statements available if your school, college or venue asks for them. We cover Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and London. Tell us the date, the venue and whether it's going on grass or indoors, and we'll put a quote together.
