Low Ropes Courses
The low ropes or challenge course is designed to bring your entire sports team together in a series of game-like tasks that exercise the mind and body. Light warm up activities encourage participants to have fun, learn, and take care of each other. Through learning to depend on each other and communicate with each other, your team will learn how to value each individual's unique input to the group while creating an integrative whole. By cooperating as one unit and taking care of each individual, the Low Course will reinforce levels of trust and respect, and increase the problem solving skills of the group.
High Ropes Courses
The high ropes or challenge course elements involve two to three people working together at a time to overcome a problem 30 to 75 feet high, while the rest of the group is responsible for their safety using a rope and harness system. Learn hands-on about group and 1-to-1 communication, leadership, teamwork, trust, planning, risk taking, group and individualgoal setting, and adapting to change.
After completing each activity on the high ropes course, you and your team will analyze your roles and the reasons why certain strategies did or did not work. Your athletes will see how each individual deals with stressful situations and utilizesinnovative and new solutions. Throughout the day, metaphors and analogies are drawn from the activities and your team will discuss how they can apply the principles you've learned to their everyday life and learning situations.
