Junkyard Sports®  Sports for the FUN of it!

 

 

2-3 hour activity
12 or more participants

It's a Teambuilding event. It's a sports event. It's highly instructive. It's unforgetably fun.
It's head-to-head, toe-to-toe, face-to-face, person-to-person, team-to-team competition. Based on real, official, television-worthy sports. And it's all for fun. For everyone. Regardless of ability or age or salary. Sales, marketing, manufacturing. Spouses. Kids. Executives, even.

OK, what is it really?

• Junkyard Sports^® Teambuilding Events are first and foremost fun. And when people have fun together, new bonds are formed and the team grows stronger.

• There's no discrimination between players because there is no demand to perform.

• People get to play together. A lot. They get to play creatively. They get to play competitively. They get to make up new ways to play together. As long as it is fun for everyone. Regardless of age, ability, race, rank, or salary.

• And yet they find themselves giving their all, getting to be the star players in a new, never-before-been-played sport that they invented together.

So, how does it work?

• First, people work together to figure out how to make a bunch of junk (usually socks and pantyhose) serve as the equipment for a team sport.

• Next, people play in teams against other teams. They play competitively and compete in the games they and the other teams created.

• Finally, people sit back, relax, eat junk food and give each other awards and talk about what they learned from the game. Food? Why, junk food, of course. Awards? Hand made, actually out of, you guessed it, junk. Learn? About themselves and their team, about how to make and keep things more fun and yet stay focused and productive, about being and working together.

What do they come up with? How about Toilet-paper Sockput or Simultaneous Croquet or 3 Team Handless Volleyball? Anything that turns out to be fun enough, for everyone.

Junkyard Sports^® Events can be developed for almost any number of people for a couple hours or more. As a teambuilding event or part of a company wide celebration.
