Corporate Team Building Events
Looking for a unique and different idea for your next Corporate Team Building Event?
Look no further!
AZDBA offers a fun-filled afternoon on the cool waters of Tempe Town Lake! Dragon Boat racing is one of the fastest growing team sports in North America and has been called the ultimate team sport! There are different sections in the boat, each with different roles/responsibilities, performing in concert with one other to attain a team goal. Bring yourself and your coworkers for a few hours of exhilarating dragon boat racing, teamwork, and friendly competition!
The team building event is held in the afternoon and is consists of two parts: a land portion and a water portion. During the land portion of the event, your team will be introduced to AZDBA and the history and sport of Dragon Boat and shown how a Dragon Boat crew works together in each section of the boat with different roles/responsibilities.
From there, your group will be given basic instruction about boat and lake etiquette, safety, boat commands, and basic paddling techniques. The land portion concludes with each participant being assigned a role in the boat based on ability and physical stature. After a warm-up, your group will head down to the docks to load and launch the boats.
The water portion of the afternoon provides participants time to gel together as a team learning boat commands, practicing paddling techniques, and synchronizing their timing. After the practice session is over, all the boats line up at the official 250m start line and compete in the same 250m race format used by Corporate teams in our annual AZDBA festival. A City of Tempe chase boat will accompany the racing boats and an opportunity will be provided to video the race for your group’s to view later. The afternoon concludes with an AZDBA trophy presented to the winning boat (if there are at least 2 boats used in the Team Building event).
AZDBA will provide all equipment (paddles and PFDs) and necessary staff (coaches and steerspersons for each boat) for the event. Just bring yourself and your group in comfortable workout clothes, sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen. You will probably get splashed since dragon boating is a water sport! Water and light snacks will be provided for all participants.
Get ready for some fun under the sun in what promises to be one of the most innovative and unique team building experiences your group will ever have!
