archery tag & human foosball
Battle Zone
Two hours of high-energy archery tag and human foosball for your youth group, church or school, with the Gospel at the heart of the night.
What is Battle Zone?
Battle Zone is a unique sport that combines elements of dodgeball and other combat-style games with archery and human foosball. In archery tag, players compete in teams of two in a bracketed competition, taking aim at each other to score points or eliminate opponents until one team wins. The Gospel is shared around the halfway point of the event.
Why Battle Zone?
Battle Zone gives youth ministries a way to share the Gospel with their teenagers and invite friends who wouldn’t usually come to youth group. Nothing matters more to us than seeing lives saved and connected back into the local church for discipleship and growth.

what leaders say
Testimonies
Battle Zone was a huge seed planter for our youth group! Not only were the games epic, but the night contained a powerful and engaging Gospel message. Arrow Tag and Human Foosball were huge winners! In a single night, multiple teenagers made the initial decision to put their trust in Jesus and receive Him as their personal Saviour. …
Through the inspirational team at Word of Life, God has really provided youth groups around Australia with a program capable of bringing much fruit to the kingdom of God. Young lives were changed at Battle Zone, so much so that our teenagers are already demanding for the Word of Life team to return to Friday nights!
