All day rental
Meet the action-packed Bucketball game – a simple, competitive backyard game that is easy to set up and surprisingly addictive once play begins. Bucketball is a great addition to parties and events where you want something interactive that works for both children and adults.
Set-up is quick and straightforward. Each bucket is filled roughly a quarter full with water to give it weight and stability. Once placed in formation, players take turns tossing tennis balls, aiming to land them in their opponent’s buckets. Any bucket that has a ball land inside it is knocked out of play. The first player or team to clear all of the opposing buckets wins.
Bucketball works particularly well because it does not rely on strength or speed alone. Accuracy, focus, and a bit of strategy make all the difference, which keeps games competitive and entertaining regardless of age. It is easy to understand within seconds, making it ideal for mixed-age events where guests want to join in without lengthy explanations.
This game is regularly added to birthday parties, family BBQs, school events, picnics, and casual get-togethers. It also works well as a secondary activity alongside inflatables, giving guests something to do while waiting their turn on a bounce house or water slide.
Bucketball is commonly hired alongside inflatables from Bounce Houses and Waterslides, helping create a balanced event layout without filling the space with too many large items. It pairs especially well with larger inflatables where guests naturally rotate between activities.
The game is compact, easy to supervise, and suitable for use on grass, patios, or other flat outdoor surfaces. Because it does not require power or constant supervision, it is a popular choice for events that want low-key fun running in the background.
Bucketball is regularly hired for events in San Antonio, Alamo Heights, Balcones Heights, Castle Hills, Converse, Shavano Park, Windcrest, Leon Valley, Von Ormy, Somerset, Kirby, and Hollywood Park.
Important note: Backyard Games, including Bucketball, can only be booked as an add-on to a bounce house rental. If you would like to enquire about a backyard-games-only booking, please call us to discuss availability and booking details.
Whether it is used as a main game for smaller gatherings or as a supporting activity at larger events, Bucketball adds simple, competitive fun that keeps guests engaged throughout the day.
