Corporate team building

Corporate team building in North Ryde and Macquarie Park

Team building often fails for one reason. People get asked to do something they are bad at, in front of their colleagues.

So we picked sports anyone can play. Pickleball and padel are easy to pick up, fun from the first rally and our coaches run the whole session. We host teams of 10 to 150 people at 16-18 Epping Road, North Ryde.

  • Groups of 10 to 150
  • No experience needed
  • All gear supplied
  • Coach-run from start to finish
  • A few hours to a full day
  • Wellness hub

Why racquet sports

Why padel and pickleball work for team building

The best team building does not feel like team building. It feels like a good afternoon out with the people you work with.

Everyone starts level

Plenty of your team will be new to padel and pickleball. Nobody walks in with a big head start, so the playing field really is level.

Easy to learn

Pickleball is super easy to pick up and suits all ages and athletic abilities. Padel mixes tennis and squash with a hint of badminton, and it is fun whatever your skill level.

Built for teamwork

Doubles formats put people in pairs who have to talk, plan and cover for each other. That is team building happening on its own.

A coach runs the day

Our coaching team runs the intro, the games, the challenges and the scoring. Your people get to just play.

Social, challenge or tournament

Keep it relaxed with social games, add friendly challenges, or run a full tournament with a winner.

Finish with recovery

Add the wellness hub for a sauna, ice bath and compression boots. A strong way to close out a big quarter.

Team building activities

Team building formats

Pick a format and we shape it around your group size, timing and how competitive your team is.

A proper draw with a winner. Great for competitive teams and groups who already get on.

Two sport challenge

Split the session across padel and pickleball with a coach-led mini tournament. Our Classic package.

Pickleball all the way

Two hours of coach-led pickleball with a social format. Perfect for mixed ages and fitness levels.

Full day offsite

Team building activities in North Ryde that people actually enjoy

Good corporate team building gets people out of the office and doing something together. Ryde Multisport & Racquet Centre gives your team the courts, the coaches and the gear in one place.
