Archers Assemble: Toronto's Epic Return to Combat Archery Tournament This August

We’re backkk… Ready for an archery showdown? Toronto's hosting the next Combat Archery Tournament this August, and it's going to be nothing short of epic. Yeah, you heard it right - the arrows will fly again from 7 pm until 11:30 pm, right here in The Six.

This time, the combat gets tougher, the battlefield more intense - the stakes? Well, they've never been higher. We've got four fierce teams ready to compete: Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and for the first time ever, Boston! Yep, this isn't your run-of-the-mill Tri-City Tournament anymore - we're making room for our neighbors down south.

And for those of you who've been following us, you know it's been a hot minute since we had a tournament in Toronto due to COVID. But now, we're back in the game, and we're not just playing to participate; we're playing to bring that shiny cup back home!

Toronto team captain Josh had some choice words about the upcoming tournament.

“Hosting our first tournament since 2019 means a lot to us. After going to Ottawa this past May and winning, the energy in our community has spiked and the drive to defend our title for the first time since 2017 is alive and well. I think the recent impression our players made on the other cities is that for the first time since the pandemic, Toronto is a real threat and we want to make sure we show up in full force to meet the expectations our opponents have of us and the ones we have of ourselves”

Referencing their latest 1st place win during the Golden Acres Tournament in Ottawa as The Untouchabows last May 2023. But the anticipation doesn't stop there - did we mention that Toronto's own Team Captain Josh is not only a strategic mastermind on the field, but also a seasoned coach at Archers Arena? He's honed his skills through countless hours of training, not just for his own performance but also to help others unlock their potential in this adrenaline-pumping sport. So if you've ever thought about taking a shot at combat archery, remember, you might just be learning from a champ.

The Untouchabows and Captain/Coach Josh in action! 😱🔥

There's fighting spirit for you! Be sure to check out this highlight reel from last year's tournament that showcases the high-stakes action we've come to expect.

So, to the Montreal Originals, who won the last tournament back in 2019 by beating our pride and joy, The Untouchabows, with a 21-16 victory, we've got one thing to say: we've been counting down the days until our rematch. And Olivier, Montreal's team captain, we're especially looking forward to seeing you on the battlefield again. It's time to renew old rivalries and let the arrows do the talking.

Oh, and Boston, we haven't forgotten about you. We're eager to see what your A-team brings to the table. We're already training to face your best shot.

Now let's talk about the game format. We're gearing up for 5v5, a dynamic and thrilling style that brings out the best in each archer and amplifies team strategy.

As for the prizes? Hold onto your bows, folks - we're still working out the specifics. But we'll let you in on a little secret: we're talking about including Arena Bows in the prize pool. So, if you've been eyeing those sleek, swift bows we've got around here, this could be your chance to claim one.

As always, the rules of engagement will be announced closer to the tournament date, but you can expect the same exciting, adrenaline-pumping action that Combat Archery is known for.

And if you're one of our loyal fans, we invite you, with all the formality we can muster, to join us this August. Come cheer us on as we reclaim our title, right here in Toronto. Got any questions?

"We're coming for the cup. We're bringing our best team, and we're ready to win," says Sam Lai, founder – CEO of Archers Arena. "So Montreal, Ottawa, and Boston teams, better watch out for us."

Lockdown Over!

We are back!
Starting from the 1st of February, we are now at 50% capacity!
Up to 24 people in the Party Room and up to 15 people in one court!

We have all sorts of things to do. We can celebrate your birthday, participate in a team building event, or just have fun. Come see what's happening with us - it will be exciting!

The Party Room

Looking for a place to have your birthday party, team building event or gathering?

Our Karaoke Party Room is perfect! You can relax and bring in food and drinks from outside, and you're welcome to BYOB as long as you have a Special Occasions Permit.

Plus, we have lots of great amenities included and a premium karaoke HD sound system with 200,000 songs!

Archery Tag

Want to shoot at your friends? You can do that. But they will also be able to shoot you back! It is like playing dodgeball with bows and arrows. You get put in for every time you score, but there are rules!

Ricochets don't count, and your bow and arrow also count as your body. You wear helmets so you don't get hurt, and the arrows have foam tips so you can feel the impact without it being dangerous.

Beginner archery training

Want to practice your target aiming before stepping into combat?

Our coaches can guide you through the game in a one-hour long session. There are digital targets to shoot at and you and up to 6 of your friends can play together. You can compete against each other by testing your accuracy or speed (or both!), or play as teams. Maybe even compete against the coach!

Your own stats are generated. If you compare these, then you can see how you are doing on certain things. If one person has been playing for more time than someone else, maybe they know some secrets that will help them?

Nerf Wars

Do you want to shoot in a modern way? You can do that with a Nerf Blaster! The Nerf Surgefire shoots powerful darts from far away. It has quickly spinning barrels that can release multiple darts at once or in rapid-fire succession.

The Nerf Strongarm has high-powered blasters so it is easier to take down enemies in close combat. But you should also use the rangefinder if there are obstacles between you and an enemy target.

Saber wars

Relive your Star War’s fantasy by joining the ranks of the Jedi Council or succumbing to the dark side! Defend Princess Leia from being captured or (if you’re bringing kids) reenact the infamous Youngling’s scene 😈

Bubble Soccer

Bubble Soccer is an amazing game! It can make you feel like an unstoppable force. Get your Bubble Soccer suit on and play with your friends (safely). You will be running, tumbling, and rolling around without realizing time is passing by until it's over too quickly.

The suits are sanitized and cleaned before and after each session!

blacklight dodgeball or blacklight basketball

In our dodgeball, we forget our problems and just have fun. We bring back memories from when we were younger. Sometimes we also play basketball in the dark with glowing balls. This way people can enjoy their favorite sport even when it is raining or dark outside.

Private gym space

At $12 per person per hour - minimum 2 people charge on weekdays, and minimum 4 people charge on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - Archer’s Arena offers private gym space if you want to exercise without having to worry about a monthly subscription or other outside people.

Train with no judgment at our indoor gym that will be private to you and your group during your session and lose all those extra pounds built up during quarantine.

Find out the answer to all your New Year’s Resolutions

Can you believe that another year has passed? Yes, it’s soon going to be 2020. 

Yes - that time of the year when we make promises to self - the time for New Year’s resolutions.

The tradition of New Year’s resolution goes way back in time but as long as you keep at your resolution track you can skip the history lesson.

Resolutions majorly are of two kinds – kicking a bad habit or starting a positive habit. And like most things in life, most resolutions are common. Always remember that whether your goal is short-term or long-term, there is no goal that you cannot accomplish. 

Without further ado, we at the Arena, are listing down 10 most common New Year’s resolutions and how we can help you achieve them.

1. Exercise more – What if you are a self-proclaimed #GymFreak that pumps iron every-day or that ultra-runner that runs weekly marathons – is there really scope for you to exercise more? So for everyone alike – if your resolution is to exercise more – come over to Archers Arena and choose to have a fun workout – and the best part? You get to decide what you want – Combat Archery, Nerf Wars, Bubble Soccer or Saber Wars and not your trainer. So now sweating can be fun.

2. Lose weight - If you’re one of those who paid the annual membership fee to the best gym in town when 2019 came in and showed up only the first 3 days – well be honest to yourself. You’d probably do not like an instructor chasing you around the gym. So what can you do in 2020 to lose weight? Join our community night every Friday where you can play 2 hours of intense cardio for only $25. And we’ll be adding more dates in the new year to our community night. *wink wink*

3. Learn a new skill or hobby – How does Bubble Soccer sound to you? Or Combat Archery or Nerf? Come learn these alternate- fun sports where you and your friends can have the time of your life. So make 2020 the year you learn something cool.

4. Save more money / spend less money – We’re so competitive when it comes to pricing that it’s not even funny. We have the best rates, discounted packages – more affordable than your neighbourhood sweatshop. We don’t make you buy any equipment, any musical instrument. Thank us later for saving your money on the gym subscription.

5. Quit smoking – For the time you are at the Archers Arena, you are always having a good time. So more endorphins kicking in – more dopamine (happy hormones) – and you are no more dependent on cigarettes. It has been scientifically proven but we’ll skip the science lesson, in case you still want to know the details – read here. Also, we’re a no-smoking zone – so you can’t really smoke in here. 

6. Spend more time with family and friends – All of what we do at Archers Arena is family-friendly – so if you’re 5 and above – get ready to have some fun. If you don’t like your cousins, well you can choose from arrows or nerf pellets (we won’t tell on you). Jokes aside, physical activity with family and friends is known to help build lasting bonds. So, more reasons for you to come over.

7. Travel more – If you have a ‘Wanderlust’ tattoo – we can totally understand. How about travelling the world and competing in Combat Archery? Archers Arena just hosted the 4th Tri-city Combat Archery Tournament last month and we’ll be travelling in February for the 5th Edition. Come over every Friday for Community Night, we are always looking for new talent to join our team. If you make the team, who knows, it might be Vegas next. And hey… if you are ever in a dilemma when you can’t decide between taking a vacation or combat archery – we have friends all over the world. UK, US, Australia, you name it. So you can play your favourite sport even when you’re on a vacation.

8. Read more – Everybody wants to get back to reading but the perfect book does not exis----  Arena Bible – The secret book of games that haven’t been discovered yet. Well, the book only appears on the night of the two moons. But we do have many game-modes for Combat Archery, Nerf Wars, Bubble Soccer, and Saber-Wars that you can read/know about. Just follow us on social media, or better still come over.

If you have a resolution that we have missed or if you have any questions, feel free to email us at info@archersarena.com questions. You can even call at (647)-992-7362. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for more. And yeah, Happy New Year 2020.

5 Different Ways To Celebrate Your Birthday In Toronto

Hey shorty. It’s your birthday. 

But you are sick of doing the same thing every year – going to the same restaurant with same people. Try Something new. 

So, you want to party but don’t want to do the regular-everyday-normal people stuff? Then read on to skip the boring lunch and/or dinner.

1.     Hit some cold ones and Karaoke – We mean the soda pops or whatever you fancy. Some liquid courage always helps in getting up there and singing your heart out. Karaoke can be an exciting theme for an entertaining birthday party. Some people find karaoke embarrassing – but hey- if you don’t do it in your birthday – then who will?

2.     Turn your house into a club – You could choose to wait in line that seems longer than the black-Friday’s, right outside a club for almost eternity and pay a $20 cover charge to enter OR you can just turn your house into a club. So, no need to stand outside in the cold in your pretty dress. Just throw a big party and get everyone over instead. Not only is this cost-effective but hey- if you want to pass out- there is no place like home. 
Pro-tip: AirBnB instead if you don’t the cleaning next morning.

3.     Kick some balls with Bubble Soccer – Do you like to get physical? Do you have friends that you want to smash? Then Bubble Soccer is just for you. Get ready to knock, bump, tumble over your friends in fun-sized soccer with over 20 game-modes. Play in teams of 3-4 and for up to 16 people in a fully air-conditioned facility at Archers Arena – go to place for Bubble Soccer in Toronto.

P.S. - Getting goals isn’t the only way to score. *wink wink*

4.     Aim at the birthday person in a game of Archery Tag – Birthday bumps or “the dumps” are a thing of the past. If you are deep into Hunger Games, Hawkeye, Green Arrow, Robin Hood or Neytiri from Avatar, you know we are talking about Combat Archery. And if it’s your birthday – then you get to play absolutely FREE. Psssssshhhh….That’s another reason to shoot some arrows straight at the birthday person. For the best experience in Combat Archery Tag in Toronto, get in touch with us. We have some real cool deals.

5.     Shoot nerfs around in Nerf Wars - What can be more fun than nerfing around on your birthday. We have, “Nerf Guns, lots of nerf guns.” Just the way Keanu Reeves likes it. For kids, teens, adults, and all nerds alike – Nerf Wars is a lot of fun. Not only can you build your very own bunker base but you can also take to the sniper nests. And if you want to save dat money while you are at it, check out some birthday deals by Nerf Wars Toronto. How bow dat?

So, this birthday – don’t just do ordinary things like people do - but have the best birthday in Toronto. If you know someone whose birthday is coming up, do share these fun ideas across. Feel free to drop a comment below if you have any questions, email us at info@archersarena.com , reach out to us on social media or simply pick up your phone and give us a call at (647)-992-7362.
