How many team members do we need?
Games will generally have 5-7 team members, depending on the sport. Plan for 5, with a couple of substitutes.
We appreciate that some teammates may swap from week to week. Especially once word spreads in the office...
If you have more people interested, you could have multiple teams. Similarly, if you don't quite have enough, why not connect with other businesses in your network who may be interested? The more the merrier!
What is the level of commitment?
We just ask that you commit to one hour per week for ten weeks (excluding travel time) allowing you to play one 30-minute match while leaving time to shower and change before returning to your office.
Have more time to spare? Great! Relax in our sauna for some post-game recovery or grab a bite to eat at our café.
