The Gagasphere was born out of necessity because our kids-five of them between the two of us-loved playing gaga at summer camp and wanted to play more than just two months out of the year. Discovering there was no facility dedicated to playing gaga in northern New Jersey, we decided to open our own.
Every kid who plays gaga loves it-so why not make it happen? While most of our programs will be geared toward the 6-14 year old camp aged child, older teens and adults will be able to get in on the action as well. Between after-school classes, birthday parties, open-pit times, private rentals, leagues and group gaga events, there's something for everyone.

Gaga is a game that has many names! Gaga, Gaga Ball, Ga-ga, Octo-ball. Whatever you call it - Gaga is a form of dodgeball that originated in Israel in the 1970s and spread when Israeli counselors brought the game to summer camps around the world. Players start in a "pit", an octagon shaped court, hitting and rolling the ball with their hand to eliminate other players.
Better than just a gaga pit rental, our Gaga on The Go package includes Gaga Pros to teach and run the game for your guests. Anyone can learn to play in just minutes. The Gagasphere brings the perfect gaga pit for kids of all ages. Whether your party is outdoors or indoors, on grass, plastic sports tiles, sand, ballroom or gym floors, our Gaga pit has you covered.
Field trips for Daisies, Brownies and Girl Scouts at The Gagasphere integrate STEM learning with fun hands-on activities that will focus on science/engineering and math concepts. Scouts then take their energy and brain power into the Gaga Pit!. Your group has exclusive use of our facility - no other event or trip will be in our space during your field trip.

My kids learned how to play Gaga at camp and were so excited when the Gagasphere opened! They have attended parties and camps there, which they have enjoyed so much. They have even rallied groups of friends for open pit time! The staff are super upbeat and seem to genuinely enjoy playing with the kids. The owners are so nice, flexible and organized. I highly recommend to anybody looking for a party venue, camp or just to get friends together to play Gaga!

What a great place! We just had my twins 8th birthday here! Everything ran seamlessly! Leslie, Pam and the Gaga Pros are efficient, organized, and on top of every detail. In addition, they are so engaged with the kids that they provide such a warm/personal touch. We loved that despite having 42 kids at the party everything ran right on time and without missing a beat. Its so nice that all you have to do is show up and everything else is taken care of. This is THE party place!

We celebrated my son's Bar Mitzvah this past weekend which started off with a dinner party at our house on Friday night. In order to entertain 16 kids (boys and girls) aged 6-15 and keep them off their phones (and Fortnite), we decided to rent the Gaga Sphere's "Gaga On The Go" pit.
I am so glad we did because it was an awesome experience for everyone! The kids had a blast and were engaged for two straight hours while the adults were able to relax and enjoy their night. When the kids took a break for dinner, they stayed outside to eat because they wanted to finish quickly and get back in the court

The Gagasphere is simply fantastic! My 8 year olds attended camp here for one week, and came home smiling every day. Run by a mom (Leslie) and led by a PE teacher (Elizabeth), the camp was chock-full of fun activities. The kids met new friends, jumped through obstacle courses, had Lego competitions, and played Gaga, of course! At the end of the week, they begged me to sign them up for another week. They had an absolute blast in a loving and supportive environment. What more could a mom ask for?

Just recently hosted my son's 7th birthday party at Gagasphere and he and his friends had a blast! What a great concept, have fun, learn about team work, and most of all exercise. The ability to practice hand and eye coordination and agility, while moving around in a safe surrounding is what we liked the best. Keep up the good work!

We held our son's 8th birthday party at The Gagasphere and it was fantastic! The Gaga Pros who facilitated the party did an amazing job keeping 20 7- and 8-year old boys engaged and psyched to play. The kids all had an incredible time, and were still talking about the party at school on Monday. :) From my perspective, the Gagasphere made the party extremely easy to plan. We basically only had to show up, and they took care of the rest. We're so happy that we decided to have the party there!

My 9-year old guy and just-turned-7-year old girl LOVE The Gagasphere! The owners (two Moms) have created an atmosphere that is engaging, friendly, warm and welcoming to kids of all athletic abilities. The counselors who run the "pits" are clearly well trained to ensure every kid feels included and involved (even when the kid gets tagged "out" - kids are very quickly back in the game, which is the nature of the Gaga game). As a parent, I love the ease of signing up on-line to reserve our space and sign the waivers. Easy peasy! The only question my kids ask when we leave is, "When can we come back

I brought my 8th grader and his friends for an afternoon of play. Some of the kids played gaga at camp while others were new to it, but each child caught on fast. It doesn't matter the age or level of experience, gaga is a great game for all children and skill levels. They are looking forward to going back and playing some more indoor gaga at The Gagasphere.
