Do you want to know how to bring a sports team together? Well, sports club trips are one of the best things you can do to strengthen the connections in your team. Spending time together taking part in epic and adventurous activities is so much fun!
Develop their sporting skills
Sports team trips are a great way to develop your team’s skills. Whether you would like to test out some new tactics or work on particular skills, a sports team residential trip allows you to do exactly that, with access to all the facilities you need.
At PGL, a number of our centres have excellent sporting facilities, from full-size pitches to indoor areas and more to deliver the best youth sports trips!
Creates new friendships
With so many different activities that require teamwork, those in the team who may not know each other that well will have the opportunity to bond while taking part in epic challenges! Mixing the teams up is a great way to get everyone chatting.
Boosts morale
A good laugh always lifts everybody’s mood. Sports club residential trips let your team enjoy themselves and just have a good time, which is all kids want! Having fun, challenging themselves in adventurous activities and relaxing in the evening all contribute to boosting morale in your group.
Allow individuals to express themselves
With no pressure, your sports stars can express themselves while playing their favourite sport. Whether you’re just training or also playing a range of matches against other groups, a different environment where there are fewer spectators can help the introverted members of your team shine!
Sports team bonding activities at PGL
Sports games
Whether you’re looking for a netball, football, or rugby sports trip, you can customise your adventure however you like. You’ll have access to football pitches, netball courts and sports halls, so you can play, train and do whatever you want!
All Aboard
What’s better than a trust-building exercise for your sports team? Well, All Aboard is all about teamwork. Four of your team members must make their way up the 6-metre pole and communicate with each other in order to get everyone standing at the top platform together. Once this is achieved, they have succeeded!
Crate Climb
This activity is one of the most popular sports team building activities. First off, your team will be split into two groups, where they must select two members who will be strapped in safely and be the ones who lead the crate tower to the top. Once the activity is underway, teams must think creatively and work together effectively to build the tallest crate tower possible with the two members at the top!
Laser 360
Laser 360 is a fun and competitive team game. It’s perfect for bringing out the winning mentality in your athletes, as they split into two teams and battle it out in a series of tactical games. Each participant will have their own laser gun and vest, used to tag other people and recognise when they have been hit.
