Renting Soccer Five Fields: Cost and Student Discount

Low-cost rental of a “Soccer Five” (5-a-side) pitch for students

1. What is Soccer Five?
Soccer Five refers to small pitches designed for 5 vs 5, equipped with advanced artificial turf and surrounded by netting and boards—making it feel like a professional pitch inside an arena. This model exists in many German cities in indoor facilities or outdoor venues with floodlights. (soccerfive24.de)

2. Typical prices and student bookings
Example: Zoca’s Bochum

Opening hours (indoor hall):

• Weekdays (14:00–18:00): €55 / hour

• Discount for students/school students: €47 / hour (about 10% saving)

• Evening slots: from €66 / hour, students can pay as low as €55 / hour (zocas.de)

Outdoor facility:

• €49 / hour on regular daytime slots, and €40 / hour for students between 14:00–18:00

• Weekend rate: €54 / hour or €45 / hour for students (synsport.co.za)

These are sample prices and may vary by city and venue. However, the gap between the standard rate and the student rate is often around 10–15%.

3. Conditions to get the discount

• Show a valid student/university ID at booking time or before entering.

• Many venues require a group of at least 5 students to qualify (Zoca’s, for example, asks for 5 IDs).

• In some places, you register via the website or app and select/enter your student status so the discount is applied. (zocas.de)

4. Booking options

• Online booking via platforms like Eversports or the venue’s official website, often with a “Student Rate” option.

• Booking by phone and confirming the discount by showing your ID upon arrival.

• Block cards: buying 10–15 hours in advance can unlock extra discounts for students or teams. (zocas.de)

5. Tips to reduce cost and maximize value

• Book during daytime or daytime weekend slots, as prices are usually lower.

• Use prepaid packages (block cards) to lower the hourly rate, especially if you have a stable group.

• Look for student deals via websites like Student Beans or the venue’s app, which may offer special discount coupons.

• Organize your team in advance (5 players) and benefit from group-based discounts when booking.

6. Free alternatives: “Bolzplatz”
For casual play, you can use public neighborhood pitches (Bolzplätze), available for free in most cities—though quality varies. They are suitable for relaxed games and kids’ play, but they do not match the facilities of fully equipped 5-a-side venues.

Summary

• Renting a Soccer Five pitch typically costs €40–€66 per hour, with student discounts up to 15% (often €10–€15 cheaper).

• Discounts usually require a valid student ID and sometimes a group condition (e.g., 5 students).

• Online or mobile booking makes it easier to reserve and apply the student discount.

• A no-cost alternative is a public Bolzplatz—but with different standards and expectations.
