Is your sports team in need of a team building trip? Our group adventures are designed to boost your team’s connection through a range of sports team building activities!
Strengthening the bond between teammates outside of your sport is a great way to improve their relationships on the field/pitch too!
Sports team building activities
Your group will experience the PGL magic every day on their trip, with a huge selection of unique, fun and thrilling sports team building activities:
Buggy Build
Creativity, communication and determination — that’s what’s needed to succeed in this activity. Your team will be split into groups and must work together to build a buggy using only the materials provided. It’s up to the group to decide how they’ll create their buggy and what it’ll look like!
Buggy build is one of the most fun team building activities for sports team that we do at PGL, and it’s always a favourite.
Dragon Boating
This activity demands involvement from everybody! The boat can hold up to 24 people, and what your group need to do is paddle, and paddle, and paddle! A rhythmical row is the key to success as your group races another dragon boat to the finish line. It’s a truly exhilarating activity that is fun for your whole team!
Giant Swing
Developing trust in and amongst your team is vital, and our Giant Swing activity is ideal for helping to strengthen this. Two people are harnessed into the swing where the rest of the group hauls them up to 10m high, however, it’s down to the pair harnessed in to decide when they come plummeting down towards the ground before swinging back up to the sky. It’s a good chance for the team on the ground to use their intuition to see how high the pair harnessed in would like to go!
Orienteering
There are lots of benefits to learning a new activity for team building. Your group will learn about orienteering before being split into groups, providing the perfect opportunity for individuals to help each other understand what to do if they’re unsure. It promotes leadership skills throughout as maybe some people will feel more confident to lead the way!
Why is team building important in sports teams?
Team building is super important for all sports teams. It’s something that can be worked on away from playing the sport too, like on group residentials. Encouraging your group to take part in team building activities can reflect positively in your team’s games/matches. Here are some reasons why team building is important in sports teams:
- Improves team relationships
- Builds trust
- Boosts communication
- Increased motivation
