The Interactive Football Challenge is a dribbling course of ten red and blue light-up bollards. The bollards run on the same wireless Interactive Play System as the IPS Podium Challenge: one of them lights up, you dribble the ball over and tap it out, the score lands on the digital board and the next one lights up. It tests footwork, reaction and ball control in one go, and it works solo against the clock, head-to-head, or as a team relay.
How it plays
There's no rule sheet to learn. One of the red or blue bollards lights up, you dribble to it and tap it out, and the next one lights as you go. The scoreboard totals every hit, and our operator can run it as a straight competition or keep a leaderboard going for the whole day - up to 3 hours on a standard hire.
Where it gets used
Football clubs use it as a dribbling and reaction drill, and it's a regular booking for team building days, school fun days and scout events, with children and adults both playing. Exhibition work is a big part of it too: we've had it out on stands at the NEC Birmingham and ExCeL London, and it travels to weddings and private celebrations as well. Around South Yorkshire it goes out to Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley regularly, and nationwide for larger bookings.
We've supplied games and inflatables for football club presentation days too. Sarah Williams said after one: "DB provided inflatables for our football presentation event at the weekend. The service from booking to finish was amazing and staff on the day so helpful and friendly."
Pair it with the Penalty Shootout or the Football Darts Combi With Penalty Shootout for a football-themed day, or browse the rest of our exhibition game hire range. We've been hiring interactive games from our Rotherham warehouse since 1999, with 95% of the kit owned and maintained in-house, £5M public liability insurance as standard and a 5/5 Google rating from 200+ reviews.
