Human Table Football Hard Poles is the pub foosball table scaled up until real people take the place of the plastic men. Two teams of five line up in rows inside a 40ft inflatable pitch, each player holding a solid bar across their row and sliding along it just like the rods on the table game. A referee runs every match and keeps order, showing yellow and red cards and sending off for foul play.
The hard poles version
Our standard Human Table Football straps players into belts on ropes and has to be pegged into grass. This one uses rigid poles instead, so it copes with venues the pegged pitch can't: artificial grass, indoor sports floors and other hard standing are all fine. It plays up to 12 at a time and suits ages 7 right through to adults, so a mixed crowd works. Just keep it off concrete and wood chip, and give us a 42ft x 22ft patch with 12ft of headroom.
It's one of the most competitive games in our sport games range and a regular fixture at team building days, school fun days and football club presentation evenings. Expect a stitch or two by full time, though not from the running - it comes from the laughing.
We've been hiring out inflatable games from our Sheffield warehouse since 1999, and we hold a 5/5 Google rating from 200+ reviews. Around 95% of the kit on this site is owned in-house rather than sub-hired, and every hire carries £5 million public liability cover. We deliver to Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, Worksop and Chesterfield as a matter of course, and take bigger jobs nationwide - there are regular runs to the NEC Birmingham and ExCeL London from the same warehouse.
