Team bonding can be extremely useful for any team. However, finding an activity that really gets the team to bond and doesn’t simply give rise to a great deal of bickering or drunken revelations can be hard. If you can find the right activity, team bonding can take a fractious group and turn it into a close-knit, trusting unit and one that increases its efficiency dramatically in the process, the whole being far greater than just the sum of its parts.

One option that many don’t look into is forming sports teams. Whilst it may not be to everyone’s tastes, those who do want to play can take to the pitch with the relevant equipment and some sports training equipment whilst those who don’t can happily support from the sidelines before everyone retires for a group drink after.

Whether it is football, rugby, or even netball, having a sport that people can work together in and possibly even play against other companies or even just other pre-formed teams will give people not only a chance to get to know each other better and focus on the work they do together, but also a chance to do so on a regular basis and see other benefits such as fitness as a result.

If you choose to go down this route, having the right sports training equipment is not all you will need. Make sure you also have a good sports first aid kit as the last thing you want is for important members of your close-knit team to be off work because they are injured.

However, with the right thought, the right equipment and the relevant sports first aid kit, you can find that you have a way of getting your staff to regularly meet, work together and have something very much in common as a result.
