πŸ™ŒIn2sport Team Building Day 2025 πŸ™Œ

29 August 2025

in2sport Team Building Day 2025 - Coaching, Communication, and a Splash of Fun!

At in2sport, we believe great coaching starts with a great team. That's why every year we dedicate time to our team building day, giving our coaches the opportunity to step away from schools and sports clubs to challenge themselves in new ways. This year's event took us onto the River Avon in Bath, and it was an unforgettable mix of sport, teamwork, and laughter.

Partnering with Original Wild, a brilliant local company, our team set off from Victoria Bridge, paddled all the way to Pulteney Bridge by the Bath Weir, and back again. Along the way, we tested our communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills - the same skills we use daily when delivering high-quality sports coaching across schools and communities.

Coaching Skills on the Water
The day featured a variety of challenges including tandem kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and even tackling a giant paddleboard that needed five members to coordinate and steer. Just like in coaching, success relied on clear communication, teamwork, and trust.

It took a few minutes for everyone to settle into the activities - getting the kayaks to move in a straight line wasn't as easy as it looked! But once we found our rhythm, we began to glide along the Avon, showing the same persistence and determination that drives our coaching sessions.

The stand-up paddleboards pushed us out of our comfort zones, testing balance, confidence, and adaptability. Swapping boards halfway down the river without letting a teammate fall in was a true test of coordination - and highlighted just how strong our team spirit is. Not everyone stayed dry, but the splashes only added to the fun!

Competition, Collaboration, and Coaching Mindsets

Of course, the competitive streak in our coaches showed itself a few times, with a couple of kayaks trying to race down the river. But whether we were paddling in sync or wobbling on paddleboards, every challenge reminded us why teamwork, resilience, and communication are essential in sport - both on and off the water.

Our host, Alfie from Original Wild, made the day even better with fascinating facts about Bath and plenty of encouragement.

Why Team Building Matters at in2sport

At in2sport, we know that great sports coaching comes from a motivated, connected, and supportive team. Our annual team building days are more than just a break - they're a chance to practice the same values we instil in young people: teamwork, leadership, and perseverance.

After a busy summer delivering high-energy sports programmes, this day on the River Avon was the perfect way to recharge, strengthen our team, and have fun together.

We're grateful to Original Wild for hosting such a fantastic day - and we're already looking forward to our next team challenge!
