Don’t take our word

The kid who never fit in now has a team.

Watch the program that won Club of the Year in 2025.

“I’m seeing people at the foosball table playing on the same team that you would never guess walking into the classroom.”
Rob Garrand, Superintendent

Referrals dropped. The lunchroom changed.

The full story
What a superintendent saw after the tables arrived
Foosball’s a way to be equal. I see a lot of kids who may have academic struggles really finding the foosball table as a place of support.

Different schools. Same thing keeps happening.

Like a kid who could not regulate in the classroom, but on the foosball table, he was following every rule.

Good sportsmanship brings kids together of different backgrounds.

Principal

I think foosball itself is a big community. It's not just a game or sport.

Eight honest answers

Cost, space, time, and why it’s free.

These are the questions every principal, teacher, and superintendent asks before they start. We answer all of them straight, including why it’s free.

The eight questions every school asks before saying yes. Cost, space, time, training, and who cares for the tables, all answered.

Rather read the answers?
We will be honest. We cannot donate to every school. But thanks to generous donors, we place tables into a limited number of qualifying schools each semester. If your school is accepted, the tables, the curriculum, the full video library, the software, the training, and ongoing support are all included. No purchase required. If your school is not accepted into our donation program, you are still in good shape. We work directly with the manufacturers so schools get tables at prices no one else can match. Either way, you get the same curriculum, video library, software, training, and support.
Just minimal maintenance. It is typically under $100 a year for replacement balls and parts. We include a fundraising template that can cover that with a single event. That is the only recurring expense.
About nine feet by nine feet per table, plus a little room for students to line up and take turns. That fits in most lunchrooms, hallways, and cafeteria corners.
Very little. You get a deep resource hub: day by day, step by step walkthroughs that carry you until the club runs itself, a complete curriculum built by foosball professionals, and our full video library. You also get a teacher portal that tracks your progress and walks you through every situation we have already seen, so your staff are never stuck.
Usually after the first week. Staff teach three simple rules in about two minutes, then spend the rest of the week reinforcing them and sticking to the pattern. By Friday, students show up on time, rotate without being told, and call their own fouls. The strongest few become captains who help manage the rest. The pattern is repeatable and easy for any school to learn. If your students can line up at a vending machine or take turns at recess, they can run a foosball club.
It rarely happens. Rob Garrand, our longest-running superintendent, leaves a ball in the table overnight with no staff supervision. In his own words: "We do not have a ball taken and we do not have a table marked up, because kids take care of the spaces and the things that they love."
Schools do not see it fade. A superintendent who watched his students move from middle school to high school said the excitement does not drop off as they get older. The high school tables stay just as full, with students waiting for a turn.
Because the people who fund it have seen what foosball does for kids. Donors who watched it bring a student out of their shell are the reason we can give this away, and we are grateful to every one of them. Beyond the tables, we are building something that lasts. We partner with strong local foosball communities, and their players step in as regional coaches to help your students. Some of those students grow into the next coaches. Every school strengthens the community around it, and that community helps keep the program going.

The cost of waiting

A kid in your school is sitting alone right now.

You have seen it. 60+ schools. Free tables. The club runs itself after week one. So the only question left is: how long does that one kid keep sitting alone? Every semester you wait, so do they.
