The Ultimate Team Building Activity
Forget trust falls and escape rooms. If you want your team to bond, laugh, and actually move, dodgeballis the answer. It is fast, inclusive, and creates the kind of shared moments that people talk about for months. At Gron's Dodgeball, we have hosted clinics for companies, student associations, sports clubs, and friend groups — and the feedback is always the same: “That was the best team outing we have ever done.”
Why Dodgeball Works for Teams
- Low skill barrier — everyone can throw and dodge from minute one. No training, no talent required. The playing field is genuinely level.
- High energy — short, intense sets get people moving and laughing immediately. There is no standing around waiting for your turn.
- Natural communication — teams quickly start coordinating attacks, calling out threats, and celebrating catches together. It happens organically, without forced exercises.
- Strategy and leadership — within a few sets, natural leaders emerge, quiet colleagues surprise everyone, and the group dynamic shifts in unexpected, positive ways.
What a Clinic Looks Like
A typical Gron's Dodgeball team building clinic runs for 60 to 90 minutes and follows a structured format:
- Introduction and warm-up — we explain the rules, demonstrate techniques, and get everyone moving with fun warm-up games.
- Skill drills— short exercises focused on throwing accuracy, catching, and dodging. These are competitive and entertaining even for people who “don't do sports.”
- Tournament — the main event. Teams are formed, names are chosen, and sets are played in a round-robin or knockout format. We keep score and crown a champion.
- Cool-down and awards — we wrap up, hand out bragging rights, and leave time for drinks and afterdodge conversation.
Group Sizes and Venue
We can accommodate groups from 10 to 40+ people. Our sessions take place in an indoor sports hall in Groningen with plenty of space, good lighting, and a proper playing surface. We handle all the equipment — just show up in sports clothes and bring water.
Why Groups Love It
People leave a dodgeball clinic buzzing. The combination of physical activity, friendly competition, and genuine teamwork creates an atmosphere that no slideshow or workshop can match. Colleagues who barely spoke before are high-fiving after a clutch catch. Managers get eliminated by interns. Everyone is on the same level, and everyone has fun.
