Dragon Boating for Team Building

Dragon Boating is the ultimate team sport with 12 people required to work together to get the boat moving. It is the perfect opportunity for companies to try something a bit different and get everyone working together to achieve a common goal out of the office. Dragon Boating is increasing in popularity throughout the corporate sector, for a good reason – it is a sport built on teamwork and it is an ideal opportunity to build workplace relations away from the office. Employees combine teamwork and fun with the added element of an adrenaline charged challenge, they will learn to work as a single unit in a safe, fun environment.

Every paddler has a unique job, encouraging leadership in each person. The boat is only as strong as its weakest paddler; working together to achieve goals through individual roles. It is fun and promotes an active and healthy lifestyle. Teamwork is essential, because it is all about being in sync; this is a lot more important than strength. A perfectly synchronized team will almost always beat a stronger, but less coordinated team. Corporations find that the experiences of dealing with the fast pace and challenges of adapting to external environments help build on-job skills of friendship, personal accountability and achievement.
