Pickleball corporate event: the ultimate team building that gets everyone involved
Looking for a corporate event that truly gets everyone involved? Pickleball is THE sport for team building: easy, fun and unforgettable.
Organising a corporate event that truly excites everyone is a challenge. One half wants to play sport, the other half doesn't like competition. Pickleball solves that dilemma. This sport is so accessible that literally everyone can participate — and so fun that nobody wants to sit on the sidelines. At 359.tennis we combine a professional pickleball clinic with an exciting tournament and premium catering for a corporate event your team will talk about for months. New to pickleball? Start with our 10 tips for beginners.
"The best corporate event is the one everyone keeps talking about — and that's pickleball."
Why pickleball is perfect for team building
Most team building activities have a problem: they exclude people. Too sporty for some, too boring for others. Pickleball breaks that pattern. The sport can be learned in 10 minutes, is physically activating but not exhausting, and through the doubles format creates natural interaction between colleagues who normally might not work together.
- •Doubles: always in teams, always together
- •Quick rotation: everyone plays with everyone
- •Low barrier to entry: no sports background needed
- •High fun factor: the atmosphere kicks in immediately
- •Short rallies: constantly in action, never waiting long
