Here’s why we help Corporates with their Team Building through Ultimate Frisbee and its principles – read on to know more…
As we’re constantly seeing an increase in stress levels at the work place – the onus is now more on the employer to help their employees reduce their stresses – actually, not just reduce stress, but to create a consistent healthy environment all while helping their employees come together more harmoniously.
So what’s the best way to do this?
Ultimate Frisbee has several benefits to lift energy, improve physical, mental and emotional wellbeing – and yes, it also provides several benefits for corporate team building.
Before we jump into how this happens – here’s a quick Introduction to Ultimate Frisbee:
‘Ultimate’ is the official name for frisbee. And at some point in our lives, we’ve all played frisbee – usually at a fun picnic with family or friends, or even with our dog.
But do you know that it’s actually a no-contact, mixed gender, self-officiated sport called Ultimate, for which fair-play is an important principle.
Played in over 80 countries, Ultimate is also recognised by the International Olympic Committee.
Now here are seven benefits for Corporate Team Building through Ultimate Frisbee:
1. Improves Communication:
Ultimate Frisbee is a team sport, requiring constant communication amongst team members to move the disc effectively and defend against opponents. As the teams play, they automatically manage to develop clear and concise communication skills, which is essential for effective teamwork in the workplace.
2. Develops Trust:
Success in Ultimate Frisbee relies on trust between teammates.
Players must trust each other to make accurate passes, provide support in defense, and execute strategies. Building trust on the field translates to improved trust and an improved bond in the workplace.
3. Allows for Collaboration:
Being a team sport, Ultimate emphasises collaboration over individual performance. Players must work together to achieve common goals, promoting a collaborative mindset that is valuable in corporate environments where teamwork is essential.
4. Problem-solving:
We all would like to solve our problems quicker and be more precise while doing so – especially critical thinking.
Ultimate Frisbee requires players to quickly assess situations, adapt to changing conditions, and develop strategies to outmanoeuvre opponents. These problem-solving skills are directly applicable to the challenges faced in the workplace, encouraging creative thinking and innovation.
5. Leadership development:
Ultimate Frisbee offers opportunities for individuals to take on leadership roles within the team. Whether it’s directing teammates on the field, making strategic decisions, or providing encouragement while on the field or from the sidelines.
We don’t just have a team captain, but also a spirit captain that helps lead fair play. It’s this development in leadership skills that can be transferred to their professional roles.

Physical activity through Ultimate Frisbee promotes overall well-being, including improved physical health, reduced stress, and increased energy levels. Team members who participate in a team sport together develop stronger bonds and a more positive team culture.
7. Inclusivity:
Regardless of gender, age, skill level and abilities – Ultimate Frisbee is inclusive – no one will need to sit out and so providing an opportunity for team members to connect on a personal level outside of the traditional work environment, cultivating a sense of belonging and camaraderie amongst diverse groups.
