How to easily build well-being culture in the team?
As a coach, you should consider these factors:
Set clear goals for social activities in your team.
- What do you want to achieve when you do social activities?
- Is the goal to get to know each other better?
- Learn something new about handball?
- Remember that team building can also be done as alternative activities such as a walk in the turn or swimming hall
The activity should be adapted to the group
- It goes without saying that team building with a group of 8-year-olds is different from an activity with 16-year-olds. There is no question of what is best for which group. When everyone thrives and is in a safe, inclusive environment the framework conditions for success are the best.
Everyone on the team must be included
- Do something that is engaging and where everyone can participate, regardless of the prerequisites they have.
Learn Handball's proposal now in January (low threshold, easy and effective):
Gather the team and watch a European Championship match with the handball guys.
- The goal may be to learn something specific about handball, e.g. the game of defense. During halftime or after the game, can you discuss how the cooperation between defense and goalkeeper worked, or whether the defense at the 2er positions won many duels? Inform the children before the fight about something they should watch carefully.
- Anyone who plays handball can benefit from watching handball, regardless of age. Kids will learn from seeing their role models. This often has a positive effect on interest. With something as simple as a living room and a TV and some good discussions about handball, we are convinced that the children will both enjoy themselves and that the interest in handball will increase.
- All are included. By gathering the whole team to watch a game everyone is going to feel included. Everyone knows they are part of the team — both on and off the field. Try to include everyone in the discussion about the match.
We can't wait to hear and read what it was like to watch the game together - feel free to send us pictures and feedback that we can post.
