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.

Another Lockdown

Omicron is the latest infection that’s been all over the news. It is more contagious and better at escaping immunity than any other virus we've seen.

Archers Arena wishes you to please stay safe and healthy during this lockdown. Make sure to wash your hands, use sanitizer, and wipe down high-touch surfaces with non-toxic antiseptics.

Stress, diet, and being active are how you reduce stress

Keep your work in a notebook or in a file on your computer so it's easy to find when you need it. Take breaks from your work every hour by doing something fun for at least 10 minutes. When you feel frustrated, take 2-minute walks to clear your head.

Eat three meals a day with fruit or vegetables at each meal and try not to eat foods with high amounts of sugar because they can make you crave more food which is unhealthy, make you feel tired and bloated which might cause stress. And here are some ways you can keep active:

Finish off your house chores

Do you have any chores or yard work you have been putting off? Doing chores like shoveling snow, gardening, and cleaning out your garage can help your to get stronger. It will also make it easier for you to exercise and clear up your head.

Take the stairs

If you live in a building with an elevator, try taking the stairs. At first, it will be hard but if you do this for a while, you'll get better at climbing stairs. This will help burn more calories than running outside and if you want to make it even harder, carry weight or skip steps! Just be careful when doing this.

Backyard exercise

If you have a backyard, you can exercise there. You can do things like run outside. It is good because it means you are getting fresh air.

Home Exercise

If you want to work out at home, it is not necessary to have a yard. You can clear space and then do different workouts that are quick, easy, or high intensity. Or you can use common household items like books or pillows for your workout.

Go for a walk or a run

Going for a walk is good for your health. You are more active because you are walking. You can listen to music or talk on the phone when you are walking. Always plan for a safe route, and bring items like money and identification, or your phone in case someone needs to help you.

Go for a nature hike

Nature hikes are good for you because they can reduce your stress and make you feel better. Hiking might also help strengthen your muscles, improve your endurance, or even lower your blood pressure.

Come Exercise At Our Private Gym

Every year, you make a New Year's resolution to go to the gym. But in 2020 and 2021, there were lockdowns that prevent you from doing this. 2022 looked like it’s going to be heading the same way, but at Archers Arena, fear not!

If you want to change your life, start now! Lose all the extra pounds that you have been carrying around because of being in quarantine. You can do it without having to pay for a monthly subscription or worrying about other people. Train at our private gym with no judgment, your session will be private to you and your group.

$12 per person per hour, minimum 2 people charge on weekdays, and minimum 4 people charge on Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

Archers Arena wants to help you reach your goals for this year with our private gym space and some helpful tips!

Ask yourself why

Some people have goals for personal reasons. Others have goals because they feel pressure from society to do them. Make sure that you ask yourself why you want to do a goal before you set one. What is your New Year's Resolution? What are you happy with in your life? Would you like to change anything about your life? Once you find the reason, it will be easier to keep on going.

Set reasonable goals

People with broad goals can feel sad because they are difficult to complete. Be specific about what you want to do. Say for example: "I want to lose 10 pounds by the end of the year" or “I want to add 5 pounds to my squat rep at the end of each month”. Setting goals is good. You can work towards them. Set a goal to enter the gym! Go inside, change, put on shoes, drive to the gym, walk inside then leave then go home. Do it again and again until you are strong enough for something else.

write it down

Set a goal for yourself. Write it down on paper, or on your phone, and post it somewhere where you will see it every day. For example, you could post the goal on your mirror. Post about what you are doing to achieve that goal on social media so people can keep track of how close they are to achieving their goals too. You will be more likely to follow through with your goals if you write them down and post them online so other people know what you are doing too.

establish a schedule

One of the most important things you can do to keep your New Year's Resolution is to create a workout schedule. Try to work out at the same time and in the same place every day so you have a routine. Pick a time when it will not interfere with any other parts of your life.

come with a buddy

It can be hard to go to the gym by yourself. It is better if you have someone with you who will help motivate you and spend time with them. They will also make sure that you are going every day.

GLOW-IN-THE-DARK Dodgeball and Basketball

Everybody knows how to play dodgeball. The rules are simple - you try to avoid getting hit by the ball. If someone hits you, you're out of the game.

Archer’s Arena is different than a regular dodgeball because it's like we're in a dance party, forgetting our problems, just having fun bringing back nostalgic childhood memories while dodging brightly-colored missiles thrown by our arch-enemy!

It’s the perfect way to relive your childhood memories while having an awesome time with friends and family. Just make sure not to aim for the head like you did when you were 8 years old! That never ended well… trust us, we know from experience.

If you don't want to play dodgeball, we have another option: Glow in the dark basketball! We wanted to create a fun way for people of all ages to enjoy their favorite sport indoors when it is dark or raining outside.

At any of these sessions, you can have a music dance party. You can do it by providing the music or we can. You should wear white or neon clothes that glow and then we will provide the pinnies for free.

Don’t know what to play? We’ve got you covered! Just to name a few:
Elimination, Free For All, Domination, Capture the Flag, and Team Death Match!

Zombies Game Mode

You need a deck of cards. Get as many cards as there are people playing - 1. The missing card is for the Joker card. Shuffle them all together with the Joker card and give them out to whoever is playing (e.g. 4 players, get 3 cards along with the Joker).

Whoever picks up the Joker card keeps it a secret and is now the zombie.

Grab cards that are between numbers 5 and 10 and shuffle them. Each player randomly chooses one and that is how much ammo they get. Once a dart is shot, you cannot pick up darts anymore.

This game starts, and whoever has the Joker drops their Nerf Blaster after 20 seconds becoming the zombie. Zombies are only allowed to walk to other players.

• If the zombie gets shot, they need to kneel and count to 3 before moving again

• If a zombie touches someone, they become a zombie!

• If the resistance team all become zombies after 5 minutes, the zombies win.

• But if there is at least 1 person who isn't infected after 5 minutes, the resistance wins!

TARGET SHOOTING GAME MODE

Set up targets using cups or pop cans, and starting from a countdown, the first person to knock down the most targets wins!

BODY BLAST GAME MODE

It’s an elimination-type game when you get hit, you have to do an exercise! If you get hit on the:

• Legs, do 10 squats or lunges

• Stomach, do 5 crunches

• Back, do 10 jumping jacks

• Chest/Arms/Head, do 5 pushups

Rental rates are charged based on a 24h rental period, from the time of equipment pickup.

Party package reservations require at least a 48h cancellation notice. No-shows and cancelled parties notified less than 48h before scheduled pick-up will be charged 50% of the party cost.

Saber War Game Modes!

That’s right, we offer saber war battles!

Safety is our number 1 priority. We won’t be doing many moves, or jumping around a lot. So, that means we'll be more like Fencing or Kendo with a touch-to-kill rule. You need to tap the other person to kill them, not hit them as hard as you can. This is so that no one will get hurt.

We have lots of game modes and objectives to spice things up! To list a few - Emperor vs Princess, Attack and Defend, King of the Hill, and Anakin Younglings.

Emperor vs Princess

The players are split up into 2 groups. Each side has a VIP and the VIP only has one life, while the non-VIP players have an unlimited number of lives. Both sides need to figure out who the VIP is!

In continuation with the Star Wars theme, the team that is on the Emperor's side uses Nerf Guns while Princesses have sabers.

Attack and Defend

In this game mode, one team attacks and the other team defends. If someone on the defending side is hit by a saber, they are out for the rest of the game. And if they manage to defend their base within a certain time limit, they win!

On the attacking team if you get hit, you raise your saber up in the air, walk towards the respawn point and then come back into the game. But don’t think it will be so easy, because on the defending team, there are also bunkers and shields that players can use.

King of the Hill

In this game, one person is chosen as the king. The other people in the party have to knock that person off their throne to become king. Whoever is last king is the winner!

Anakin Younglings

Finally, what you’ve all been wondering about! This is the most favorite game mode! Here is a Tiktok video to explain everything below:

One person is to be Anakin, and only Anakin has a saber. Everyone else is a youngling and does not have a saber. Younglings have to run away from the person who is playing as Anakin and they need to tap their teammates on the shoulder so that they can save them.

Survive for as long as possible, but if all the younglings are slain, Anakin will become Darth Vader!

Nerf Birthday Parties

Birthday parties are fun, but it is even more special when you can shoot Nerf guns at your friends! We cover many birthday parties, and the ones with Nerf are especially fun because they are great for both kids and adults too. We have a great selection here, though our most popular guns are the Nerf Surgefire and the Nerf Strongarm.

The Nerf N-Strike Elite Surgefire is a blaster that shoots darts up to 90 feet. You need to pull the trigger and move the grip backward and forward. To fire all 15 in rapid succession, hold down the trigger and keep moving the grip backward and forward to slam-fire all darts!

The N-Strike Elite Strongarm blaster fires the darts up to 90 feet. It has a rotating barrel that flips open for easy loading, and if you’re in a pinch, you can go into the Slam Fire mode by holding the slide, which will let you rapid-fire all 6 darts.

The other guns we have in stock are the Nerf MicroShots Zombie Strike Hammershot, Nerf N-Strike Elite Stryfe, and finally the Nerf Dart Tag Quick 16 Blaster. You can play a lot of different games at our place as we have sniper towers, shields, Nerf footballs and building blocks! All of this can be played in a GLOW-IN-THE-DARK game setting and the Nerf darts glow too!

Our Karaoke Party Room is a great place to go if you want to relax and have fun at the same time. You can bring in outside food and drinks, and BYOB. Inside we have unlimited billiards, foosball, board games, social media booths and a karaoke machine with high quality sound so you can sing songs with friends!

Fundamental tips on becoming better at Bubble Soccer

Want to be the best? Archer's Arena has tips for you.

Here is our first one: COVID Precautions!

Each player is in their own bubble. We know that you are thinking about how clean the bubbles are. But we always put cleaning above all else and this has been especially important since the pandemic came.

We use iso-propyl alcohol to clean our suits. We then sterilize and deodorize them with ultraviolet light after every session so that there are no germs inside.

Please always wear a mask but you can take it off when you are playing. We have hand sanitizer everywhere and people need to be vaccinated to come here according to the Ontario government COVID guidelines.

How to play safe: You can play Bubble Soccer and not get hurt because of the bubble. At first, it might feel weird and different but after a while, it should start feeling good and fun!

How to not get hurt when you're hit: Don't try to resist the motion. When you're pushed, tuck your knees into the ball so that you don't fight against it. Your knees should be bent and your body low.

Getting up is not easy because you can't use your hands. The best way to get up faster is to always move to your front so that your head is facing the ground. Then tuck in your knees and bring the bubble suit closer to you and then basically squat up.

Next, we have our tips and tricks!

You need to be faster than your opponents to win the game. But if you are too slow, then it will cost you the game. So always have a person on your team who backs the player attacking the ball.

Knocking into people is a way to play the game. When you are on offense, stay low so the other team can not knock you down. The point of knocking into them is to make them fall off of the game and get hit by your ball. It is important not to be too rough with your opponents so you do not get kicked out.

Bubble Soccer is a sport with no positions. When your team is playing, make sure that you get the positions on the ground so someone can protect the goal, and divide your team up evenly to make it easier for them to defend and attack.

When the other team has the ball, you need to put people in front of your goal. You can make other decisions about where to put players but you should make sure that those players have more stamina. Talk to your team members and strategize before you land on the ground.

3 Reasons Why YOU Need To Try Bubble Soccer

Looking for something fun do with your friends this weekend in the Toronto area? Need to let loose in a healthy and safe manner? Or maybe you just want to have the most EPIC B-Day ever. Well, we’ve got two words for you… BUBBLE SOCCER. Yup, that’s soccer, while being strapped in a nice big cozy bubble. Bubble Soccer! Out of all of the super fun activities we have at Archers Arena, Bubble Soccer tends to be a crowd favourite. We’re back open as per Toronto Ontario’s new Stage 3 guidelines, and here are 3 reasons why you should crew up, get suited up, and try this fast paced, exciting, and HILARIOUS sport.

#1 It’s So Much Fun

Bubble Soccer is probably one of the most fun, and funniest sports out there today. The laugher is usually non-stop as there is just something extra hilarious about plowing into someone full force and seeing them roll. As much fun as it is letting out some steam and smashing into a loved one while playing Bubble Soccer, getting hit can be equally as fun, if not more. You’re fully secured in shoulder straps, with handles in the front to grab onto for when you get sent rolling. Along with the regular game mode, where you try to score on the other team, there’s also other games to play including everyones fav, Battle Royal. This where players go head to head in a sumo type match, and it’s a sight to behold to say the least.

#2 It’s A Great Workout

Bubble Soccer is a GREAT workout, but you’ll never know it at the time cause it legit goes by so fast. You’ll work all the same muscles you would in regular soccer, plus a few more while you carry around your bubble, and maneuver around your opponents. Really, all of our games are a great workout, but after a good session of Bubble Soccer you’ll be sweating and feeling like you had some pretty solid exercise.

#3 It’s Totally Safe And Clean

What’s safer than LITERALLY being in your own personal bubble? We know what you’re thinking now… “How clean are these Bubbles?” Well, we can assure you, that cleanliness has ALWAYS been our top priority, and we’ve upped our game since the pandemic. We thoroughly clean every bubble suit after each use. The entire bubble is washed with iso-propyl alcohol as well as sterilized and deodorized from the inside with a UVC light so you and your gang can play with peace of mind, and no germs.

Come Play

So there you have it, 3 reasons why you need to try Bubble Soccer ASAP. If you’re in the Toronto area, challenge your friends and family to a game. We have 3 different sizes of bubbles and allow ages 10 and over to play. Click here to book today, to try this awesome sport!

TARGET ARCHERY IN TORONTO

There are many Target Archery options for you, depending on your skill set. We’re back open as per Ontario’s new Stage 3 guidelines. Read more below to see the various ways you can fling arrows at Archers Arena.

BOOK YOUR TIME, and you just show up and shoot. $26.55 per hour, per person if you have your own gear. We allow bows rated up to 50lbs on our range. If you don’t own a bow you can rent ours for a small fee. It’s only $10.00 per person to rent our bows, and we have options from 22lbs to 50lbs to choose from. You can bring your own target paper, or use ours for an extra $3.00 a pop.

We're Coming Back!

Hey everybody! As Ontario gets closer to step 3, we’re getting ready to re-open, and we’re now taking pre-bookings for mid July. We have all your favourite activities to choose from, such as Combat Archery, Nerf Wars, Bubble Soccer, Dodgeball or Saber Wars. We’ve also recently added basketball and a full weight gym! If all that isn’t enough for you, we even have Toronto’s only 100ft indoor Archery Range so you and your apocalypse team can train for the next “hunger games”. Or just practice your aim.

Here at Archers Arena, we’ve taken this time off to reflect on what worked best, and what needed improving. Especially focusing on how to deliver the same fun experience in a post COVID world. Our cleaning procedures were always top notch, but we’ve taken them to a whole new level by thoroughly cleaning and washing our gear with iso-propyl alcohol as well as sterilizing and deodorizing with UVC lights.

We’ve compartmentalized the Arena and all of our bookings now have their own separate entrances. When you come it, you’ll NEVER mix with another group. We’ve even made it easier to book online in case some of your friends bail on you (it’s sad but it happens). Now when you book online, it won’t charge you, and everyone can pay separately or in one lump sum on the day. The only way you would get charged is if nobody shows up. The no show fee is only for 4 people max. Even if you booked for 10 or more. This is to try to ensure the initial organizers of the fun don’t get penalized anymore if a few of their flakey friends are no shows.

One of the other big upgrades we’re in the process of getting ready for you is a brand new, MUCH bigger party room. Equip with a pool table, photo booth, foosball, with lots of extra space to social distance. It’s going to be the PERFECT place to hang out and celebrate with your friends and fam. In between pelting each other with foam arrows of course.

During the lockdowns we were also keeping quite busy on TikTok and went from 10K to over 250K followers. Be sure to follow us here to keep up to date with all things Archers Arena, and hopefully get entertained and learn something along the way. You can also check us out on Instagram or Facebook.

There’s light at the end of the tunnel, and we’re so excited to see you guys again! Book your next birthday party now!

See you soon players!

Get your favourite COVID bubble together, get suited up in one of our three bubble sizes, and have yourselves a fun and safe workout from the safety of your very own personal bubble.

Yes, COVID has changed the world, but it hasn’t changed your ability to destroy your friends and family in an epic game of Bubble Soccer, has it?  No, it hasn’t.  Bubble Soccer can be played in groups up to 10, and for larger groups we can accommodate by opening up another court.  For $35.00 per person you get your first hour with training included.  Bubble Soccer is played in our air-conditioned arena, with 20+ game modes, all lead by our expert coaches.

Health and Safety:

Due to the current nature of our world with COVID we totally understand if you’re hesitant to plan a group activity.  For any of you still on the fence about coming out, no need to worry.  We assure you our safety and cleaning protocols here at Archers Arena are, and have always been cutting edge.  We’ve taken things even further to ensure that you, your family, and your friends have a perfectly safe experience.  We thoroughly clean every bubble suit after each use.  The entire bubble is washed with iso-propyl alcohol as well as sterilized and deodorize from the inside with a UVC light so you and your gang can play with peace of mind, and no germs.

Masks are required inside the facility and in-between games, but while you’re playing on the court and inside your bubble you can take it off, as long as it’s close by and ready to wear again once the games are done.  We want you to feel safe when joining us at the Arena and our coaches will be there to enforce the new rules, and to ensure everyone is feeling comfortable and secure.

For an activity like Bubble Soccer (just like any sport) there can be minor injuries.  So we encourage you to stretch before and after, and to move at your own pace.  To ensure you have the best experience wear comfy workout clothes and running shoes. 

Bubble Up:

So, what are you waiting for?  Get your bubble together and come join us at the Arena for a game of Bubble Soccer.  Reach out at info@archersarena.com or call (647) 992-7362 to book your spot today!

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.

When you play with a larger group, we throw in VR games – ABSOLUTELY FREE of cost. Some of the games we love here at the arena are Space Pirates, Superhot and Arizona Sunshine (the zombies hate this one).

There is a new activity in Toronto and the police and media can’t stop Torontonians from keeping off it

Bubble Soccer is a transformational, mind-blowing, re-birth like experience for many. Some even go to the extent of comparing Bubble Soccer to the life-changing effects ayahuasca brings. But we don’t – we tell you things as is – only the truth and nothing but the truth. 

But here we have 11 words of caution for you.

CAUTION: If you like to have fun - Bubble Soccer can get addicting.

The best part though, unlike any other activity – Bubble Soccer is everything and better.

Here are 9 reasons why you should be doing Bubble Soccer.

1. Legal – Bubble Soccer like all good things in the land of maple leaf – is completely legal. Imagine an uninterrupted adrenaline high where running around, kicking the ball and scoring goals isn’t the only way to score.

2. Healthy - Bubble Soccer is basically a combination of a game of soccer and a good hearty workout. With running around, bubble bumps – you break a sweat. And good things come to those who sweat. So, sweat, smile and repeat.

3. Easy – You don’t need to be a professional soccer player to play Bubble Soccer. Isn’t that some relief? There’s always a first time, some say.

4. Safe - Unlike traditional soccer, Bubble Soccer is less aggressive but still more fun. We at Archers Arena, take special care for your safety. We have expert coaches, that double up as guardian angels or as some call them ‘shamans’.

5. Recreational - You can do it with your friends. Actually, Bubble Soccer is the only drug (apart from Combat Archery and Nerfing) you and your friends should be taking.

6. For all ages – Bubble Soccer at Archers Arena is for everyone that is 130 cm or taller – this is about 4 ft 3 inches tall – which is mostly everyone age 8 and above.

7. Affordable – While most other addictions come with a heavy price tag – Bubble Soccer does not. We have the best rates for Bubble Soccer in Toronto. And if you book for 8 people and above, you get a wholesale price. Also, you can quit anytime.

8. Celebrations – Birthday, Proposal, Divorce, Break-up, Date, Job promotion, anniversaries, victory party or an impeachment whatever the cause is – there is nothing that a game of Bubble Soccer – can’t help you celebrate.

9. Fun – Apart from everything else you’ve read so far – there are only good trips with Bubble Soccer. Say goodbyes to BTs with Bubble Soccer.

Secret T(r)ip – DO NOT TELL ANYONE - If you know someone wanting to celebrate his/her birthday, hit us up – get them to play FREE.

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.

5 things to consider when running your own party

Hello my friends!

Because we run SO MANY PUBLIC EVENTS here at Archers Arena Toronto, I figured I would pass on some knowledge that has proven so valuable to myself and our team while leading through groups of people. Here are the top five questions to ask yourself when planning your next team building event.

Incentive:

Napoleon Hill, The famous self help author once said that no one has the right, at any time, to ask something of an individual without adequate compensation and I am inclined to agree.  Most people are in a “what’s in it for me” mindset which is fine and natural. Most leaders can say “well they’re being paid” which is fine for some if not most people, but consider offering a little more incentive.  Its important to note that all incentives don’t need to have a monetary value attached to it. The promise of learning or just having fun is promise enough for some.  Its also worth noting that the best of the best team members are rarely satisfied with trading their time for just money.

Competition:

Competition is one of the amazing elements of a human that gives us energy. At its best, it lifts people to unimaginable heights of achievement but at its worst, will drive us to miserable fits of anxiety and depression.  Learning how to bring the best out of people using competition could be the key for some people to break the chains of mediocrity into a life full of purpose and fulfillment. Consider who in your group thrives from competition and those who shy away from it and find a way to safety compromise them in the middle.

Comfort zone:

To run a memorable team building event, we need something out of the ordinary, mundane lifestyle so it sticks out in your minds when we think about it.  A unique experience to think back about as a reference when we need to call upon our experiences to overcome a new challenge.  Bringing your team out of their comfort zone is a great first step. Though it may be a little painful for some, the discipline to push through yields priceless results.

Interesting puzzles:

Could also be worded as “unique puzzles” so we can use your minds to attack situations at a new angle.Problem solving the same old numbers or deadlines can not only be boring, but it

can cause serious, lasting damage to the powerful human mind.  Consider an exciting and different challenge for your team to overcome. Stimulate their minds and they will find the correlation between this new problem and their old ones.

Enthusiasm:

The word that’s been thrown all over the 20th century to describe “good leaders”.  Though we know much more is needed to be a great leader, enthusiasm has a special place in this list due to its power to entice audiences through words.  The bottom line is if I don’t hear the organizer happy and excited to try this new challenge together, I wont be interested in solving this new problem either.
