Team Weekends Away
So your hockey team have been playing together for 5 years and you want to celebrate. Or maybe, your soccer team won a championship and a well deserved holiday is on the cards! Perhaps one of your team members are leaving, or several new team members have joined. In these, and many other cases – Team Weekends Away are the one.

In-jokes will live on through the season. And, many a belly laugh will be had. Just think of how many times you have been reminisced to yourself about jokes made and laughed at inappropriate moments! That is what it is all about. The moments that make your sides ache from laughing.
Outdoor Activities
Secondly, this incredible bonding experience transfers into your game play. Strategies are easily communicated and understood.

Unleash your Creative Side

Your team will return home relaxed and renewed, with a piece of amazing (or questionable!) art to have in their home. Playing with a team, no matter what the sport – is a creative pursuit. Therefore, you think on your feet and come up with new ideas all of the time. Team Weekends away that nurture this facility are super beneficial. And, your team will feel as though they all achieve something individual and that’s important too! Pottery making is a super therapeutic and relaxing way to engage with your creative side. Maybe someone will sculpt a trophy for a team mate! Or, print the team crest on a vase.
So whether you are going to tear it up on the dirt buggy track, or make like Patrick Swayze in Ghost and sculpt a masterpiece – you are going to have the craic. Strengthen the friendship in your team, embrace new members and say goodbye to old ones. And, celebrate victories and have fun with one another. Above all, your team are connected. In other words, they are a cracking bunch! Take plenty of photos for your locker room or training space. Most importantly, remember this incredible time.
