Guests play sports for an hour on the field OR court then spend a half-hour in the Party Area.
Is the Party Area a private room?
The Party Area is an open-air table reserved for the participants where they can eat and bounce for 30 minutes. You may purchase additional linger time in 30-minute increments.
Can I rent extra time?
Yes. There is a fee for each 1/2 hour extra that extends your time on a sports field, or a court, for lingering longer in the party area/shared bounce houses. This must be reserved at the time of booking your party, based on space availability.
How many sports do they play in the standard 1.5-hour party?
Parties can choose two sports during the one hour on the field or court. The bounce house is used during the last 30 minutes of the party.
Can I rent two fields?
Two fields/courts can be rented by paying a full party package price for each field. OR, if you would like to play field sports for 1 hour and then add in a court sport (or vice versa), we ask that you book an extra half hour to move onto the 2nd sports surface.
What is the age limit for the bounce house?
12 years old and younger.
Will there be a coach to organize games?
Yes, there is a coach and a host per 16 guests for the SportsHouse and MVP Pizza party packages. If you are booking a Courtside package, there is only 1 coach.

Do you provide water?
We have a water station next to our Grill. We can provide pitchers of water upon request at the party table during the food/cake portion of your party.

Can I bring decorations?
We welcome tabletop decorations but prefer no confetti, streamers, or balloons. Please drop off your tabletop decorations at least 30 min prior to the start of your party so we have time to set them up.
I want to bring in my own activity but still have the party at SportsHouse. Can I do this?
Yes, you can book our party packages and bring in your own vendor to provide your special activity (like bubble soccer).
You would need to coordinate timing with your outside vendor. Be sure to ask if there is set-up/clean-up time needed, as you will need to add that extra time to your party package.
What are the party favors?
We currently give a favor to each paying player: a choice of either a blue nylon sports bag that can be worn like a backpack or a SportsHouse water bottle. Customers may pick up favors prior to the event and fill them with additional party favor items. You may also upgrade to premium drawstring bags shaped like a soccer ball, football, or basketball for an additional charge of $3 per bag.
Can I buy jerseys for the whole party?
Yes. Jerseys must be ordered a month in advance to ensure arrival by the party.
Will the general public be allowed in the bounce house with my party?
Sometimes. The number of kids in the bounce house will be monitored by the party coaches. Party guests will get first priority. However, you could be sharing the bounce house with guests from different parties.
Can I bring celebrity guests?
Yes.
Can I bring my own coaches?
Party coaches must be SportsHouse-trained. Our coaches go through training, are athletes in high school and college, and are members of our staff, so know our facility's rules. They will host and coach your party.
How many guests am I allowed to bring?
For SportsHouse or MVP packages, the maximum number is 26. However, you can book a 2nd party package at the same time so that you can have a 2nd field or court. That way all of your guests can participate.
There will be younger siblings staying that are unwilling or unable to participate in the sports. Can they go in the bounce house?
If you have some players that didn’t show up, resulting in extra wristbands from your party package; the siblings may use the remaining wristbands to go in the bounce house, at no additional charge. If you do not have remaining wristbands, the siblings will have to pay a $10 drop-in fee. Parents MUST supervise children in the bounce house, as the coaches in charge of your party will be on the field or court with all participants of the party.
There are a lot of parents staying for my child’s party, will there be reserved seating for them?
If you have booked an MVP Pizza Party, you may reserve a place for parents to sit in the “enclosed” grill near the kids’ table. A minimum food order is required and space is based on availability. Call Kicks Sports & Grill (650) 362-4109 for availability and details.
What if I’ve already paid for extra guests and they don’t show?
We will call you 3-5 days before your party to confirm your guest count and collect payment for your extra guests. After that, your count is considered a guarantee and non-refundable. We apologize that we will not be able to refund for extra guests that do not show up, as it will be too late to cancel coaches, food, and beverages on the day of your party.
Are sales taxes or tips included in the package prices?
We are required to add sales tax to our party items and will do so upon invoicing you for your party. Coach gratuities are always appreciated and can be taken care of at your discretion at the end of your party.
How soon do I need to make my reservation and pay?
All parties must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance and paid in full to hold a reservation. The number of participants and food/drink choices must be confirmed 5 days prior to the party. Our Party Coordinator will call to remind you that we need this information to be sure your party is a success.
IF we have space and coaches available, we will gladly accept a last-minute reservation. A $50 late addition fee will apply.
What if I have to change the date or time of my party?
We understand that things happen, so if you need to change the date or time, of your party, please let us know as soon as possible so we can try to accommodate your needs. Any change made less than 10 days prior to your reservation will result in a $50 administration fee. All changes must be made 24 hours before your reservation.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations are allowed for a full refund until 10 days prior to the event. Parties canceled less than 10 days prior to the original date are non-refundable AND will incur a $50 administration fee. The remaining balance will then be credited to your SportsHouse customer account, to be used for a SportsHouse program or event within 1 year. However, NO credit will be granted for any cancellation made less than 24 hours prior to the start of your party.
