Tips for Throwing the Perfect Soccer Birthday Party

As you may already know, Total Soccer is a fantastic birthday party destination. Each party consists of 60 minutes on the turf, plus 30 minutes in our private party room. We happen to think that it doesn’t get any more fun than a soccer party, but how can you make sure your guests think so too? Read on for our insider tips and tricks!

Get in the Game(s)!

Your 60 minute turf time is yours! For kids six and under, we recommend classic games like sharks & minnows and freeze tag. If the kids are interested, we can also organize some scrimmages. For older kids, we’ll divide the group into 3-on-3 teams for a fun elimination-style tournament! Each team will be named for a country, and we’ll have our whiteboard ready to go with head-to-head matchups. By the end of the party, a winner will be crowned!

Got a wide range of ages in attendance? Not to worry–we’ve got something for everyone! Because our facilities have two turf fields, we can run the tournament for older kids on one side while providing an age-appropriate game for the little ones on the other. What if the guest of honor has another activity in mind? Just let us know and we’ll make it happen!

Think Theme

A soccer theme gives you a ton of options to make the day memorable. Order custom T-shirts for guests to wear during play–you can even put the birthday child’s name and age on the back. Deck out the party area with a soccer-themed birthday banner or balloon bouquet. Queue up a playlist of your favorite World Cup anthems and we’ll blast it through our speakers to keep everyone pumped up. We love to see creativity!

Of course, you’ll also want to send your guests off with something great to remember the party by. We’ll provide each guest with a medal, but you’re welcome to bring your own party favors as well. Water bottles, temporary tattoos and stickers, and mini soccer balls are all great ideas.

Don’t Forget The…

The last thing you want when throwing a party is to forget something important! We provide the soccer programming, but it’s up to you to secure the rest of the party supplies. Here’s a checklist to get you started:

  • Tablecloths
  • Napkins
  • Forks
  • Cups
  • Juice boxes/water
  • Food (pizza, snacks, cake)
  • Birthday candles and lighter
  • Decorations
  • Party favors

You are welcome to arrive early to set up before your party. For pizza, we recommend HG Coal Fired Pizza with locations convenient to both our KOP and Warminster facilities.
