No, it is up to the individuals renting to obtain a permit from the Parks Department if needed.

When choosing a pump to fill your Knockerball, you want to look for one designed for giant inflatables. You can even use a shop vac on the reverse with a half-inch cone attachment. Fill time is generally less than a minute, depending on your pump size. Your pump should have a fill capacity of 2.8 psi. Note that you want to make sure not to over-inflate your Knockerball. We recommend about a 2" depression with your hand when you push on a filled ball. It should be firm but not hard. If it is over-inflated, when the players hit each other, it can cause a breach. You must allow a little space for the air to move inside the ball upon impact.

No, we are an independent, local company. Knockerball USA is the Trademark name of the ball we employ in our business.

All participants under 18 must have adult supervision. Knockerballs are available in two sizes currently: 1.2 meters or medium recommended for males or females under 5 feet and 1.5 meters or large for those over 5 feet. Here is why. Your knockerball must be adjusted to cover from above your head to just above your knees. This will ensure that you maintain proper protection for rougher play. Remember to adjust the shoulder straps accordingly to obtain optimum bodily coverage. Please refer to the directions for restrictions. Remember, no jumping head to head or spearing.

We do not recommend subjecting Knockerballs to extreme cold weather. Whether you are using a PVC or TPU unit, it is highly recommended that you only use this product in temperatures ranging from 40 to 85 degrees. Extreme cold may make the material brittle, therefore rendering your Knockerball unusable.

Additionally, do not subject the product to extended exposure to UV light (over 72 hours), as this exposure may have a similar effect on the raw materials and joints. You will be playing Knockerball in the sun, but we suggest not storing them or leaving them inflated for days in the hot sun.

Please follow similar guidelines for the storage of your Knockerballs.

To use the Knockerball, we recommend at least 4' 0" for the 1.2 balls because the balls weigh 14- 17 lbs. But to just get inside of a ball and roll around, we have had many young children have a blast. Anyone over 5 feet will have more fun with the 1.5 ball.

1.5m Large PVC - 28 lbs

1.2m Medium PVC - 22 lbs

1.5m Large TPU - 25 lbs

1.2m Medium TPU - 19 lbs

But because of the backpack-style strapping, the weight is even distributed, and it's easy and fun to use!
