Sweet 16 parties are are elaborate and costly – and are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, we see our children attending a complete mix bag of exciting and diverse birthday parties from a much younger age, including go-karting, discos, pool parties and days out.
Oh to be a child again, with no worries in the world and non-stop parties on the social calendar. As a parent it can certainly feel like your little one’s social life is over-taking your own, but with such choice on offer it is hard to see why it wouldn’t be. Whether your child be an animal lover, a pamper queen or a keen footballer, there seems to be children’s parties to fit all bills. Bringing your child’s favourite cartoon character to them for their fifth birthday party is certainly a moment you probably will not forget as their smile beams from east to west.
Themed Children’s Birthday Parties
In more recent years, themed children’s birthday parties have become a popular venture for entrepreneurs, consequently making it fiercely competitive.
Themed birthday parties can be as extravagant or as unique as you want – popular themes include princess, spa, trampoline parks and even a cupcake decorating party!
Across the Pond, there have been stories of parents installing ice rinks in their own homes just to satisfy their child’s birthday needs.
With such a breadth on offer, it can be hard to choose just what party will put a smile on lots of little faces.
Here at SoccerDays, we see no reason to make such a grand gesture and take pride in our somewhat smaller yet just as fun birthday parties!

All your questions about kids football parties answered!
Our diary is packed with the names of children who will be celebrating their birthdays in the world’s best way: by playing football with their mates at a brilliant party!
In case you’re wondering what our party packages involve, some parents commented that having all the details in one place would be handy.
We thought we’d put together a quick guide, from how many children you can invite, to what great fun games our coaches will put on for your child’s day, so everyone has a fantastic time.
Ready? Let’s kick off!
What ages do your birthday parties cover?
Our fun-filled events are open to any birthday girl or boy aged between three and seven years. The same ages apply to children coming as guests.
How many children can we invite?
You can invite up to 25 children within the age ranges above. That’s enough for two full-size football teams and a trio on the bench.
What do the children get up to at a SoccerDays’ football birthday party?
Now you’re talking. We’ve taken all the fun of our SoccerDays classes and added extra thrills and a sprinkle of magic to create a great birthday party, where all the children are guaranteed to have an absolutely brilliant time under the watchful eyes of two coaches.
The Party Games
Football + Music + Fun = a fantastic time
There’s no better way to get every child invited to share your kid’s special day in the best party mood than a mix of music, footy and fun? Guaranteed a great time for all the children and grown-up guests.
SoccerDays’ footy favourites
We have hundreds of football games that kids loved during our popular weekend classes, and it was a no-brainer to roll them out at our football parties.
They’re adapted to suit all the ages and abilities of the kids taking part, so all the children get the chance to show off their football skills – such a great time!
Greatest goals, great time
This one is always a huge success. Children adore this brilliant pop-up target game, and our football coaches make sure plenty of goals are scored by the whole party!
A nail biting finish
Every brilliant party ends with a penalty shoot-out in which all the children have a chance to kick at goal, with or World Cup competition.
The coaches on the day will decide which finale to go for, depending on the number of children attending and the ages of the kids. Whichever the choice, all the guests will have so much fun and a great time!
Play and prizes
No birthday party competition would be complete without a presentation.
The birthday girl or boy, being the centre of attention, receives a medal engraved with their name, but we make sure all their guests get a certificate too. Every kid’s a winner!
Who keeps an eye on all the children?
Two of our coaches (who have all had an enhanced DBS (CRB) check) will make sure the party goes with a bang, keeping the atmosphere fun and entertaining for all the kids, all the way through to the final whistle.
Our coaches teach lots of kids at our main sessions throughout the week, and will ensure the birthday child and all their friends have a fabulous time.
Fun for all the children – and parents too!
It means while there’s lots of fun being had by the kids, the party is still coordinated and efficient, so that parents can relax and enjoy the event too, getting involved as much or little as they want.
We make sure every child, from the birthday girl or boy to all their friends, feels extra special as they enjoy playing football-themed party games with their guests.
How much set-up time do you need?
Our amazing coaches can set the football birthday party up in any indoor venue in 15 minutes, and we supply all the equipment needed. You supply the kids, sit back and watch as they have an amazing time. Back of the net!
Do the kids have to have proper football boots?
Your child’s football party will be held at a school gymnasium or sports hall facility, so the birthday child and their friends will more than likely need trainers rather than football boots.
Can we bring a birthday cake?
Absolutely! Many parents and families not only bring their own birthday cake, they also get involved by providing the party food for the kids too.
Some even put in an order with a fast food company for delivery during the child’s party.
Tables and chairs are supplied by the venues, but if you’re the party host, you can add hats and other decorations.
How long does the football fun last?
All the kids have so much fun at our football birthday parties, which generally run for 90 minutes.
The venues tend to be hired for around 30 minutes on top of that to give the birthday girl or boy and their friends a chance to scoff all the special day goodies!
