The concept

Have fun, then build the team

Team building is an important human experience in the life of a company, one that creates bonds and team cohesion. So, are you ready to tap into your team’s resources in a group session?

Have fun

I organise fun, interactive team building, with workshops for beginners and improvers, followed by a friendly tournament and a prize-giving!

Build the team

This activity encourages communication, risk-taking and decision-making. You’ll be surprised to see how behaviour changes over a group session!

How your team building works

A tailor-made format

Petanque team building with Petanque Academy can be anything from a 2-hour session during a seminar to a full day, at your premises or a venue of your choice, for up to about 30 participants. It runs in three stages, adapted to your schedule, and I provide all the equipment.

The workshops
Beginners and improvers: everyone learns petanque techniques, or fine-tunes them, at their own level.
The friendly tournament
The teams put what they’ve just learnt to the test, in good spirits.
The prize-giving
We reward the teams and bring the session to a close, together.

The benefits

What your teams gain

Better productivity
There’s nothing like a game of petanque to unwind together, in a friendly and constructive setting.
Teamwork
Whether in doubles or triples, we need each other to perform at our best!
Communication
By playing together and working out game strategies, each participant develops a better understanding of themselves and of others.
Mindset
By offering quality entertainment, you boost the sense of belonging to the group and to the organisation.
