Partners in Play
“Play is foundational for bonding relationships and fostering tolerance. It’s where we learn to trust and where we learn about the rules of the game. Play increases creativity and resilience, and it’s all about the generation of diversity—diversity of interactions, diversity of behaviors, diversity of connections. ”

FAQs
Is there a minimum or maximum number of attendees?
Nope, the more the merrier! Based on how many players we’ve got, I’ll bring in extra support and gear, but the numbers won’t change the fun.
​
Do you require a certain location? Can we host the event in our office conference room?
Heck yes! We’ve run team-building events everywhere—conference rooms, fields, gyms, even on a boat! We’re all about making it work, wherever works best for you.
​
We may have some folks who aren’t into soccer or sports. Is that an issue?
Not at all! While our activities are soccer-inspired, we make sure they’re accessible to everyone, regardless of their sport level or experience. Everyone's welcome to join the fun, no matter their background.
​
Any logistics to keep in mind? Dress code?
Comfort is key! We recommend comfy clothes and casual shoes so everyone can move freely and enjoy the session without a hitch. Let’s get ready to play!
