The Olympic Challenge
The Olympic Challenge will comprise of a series of Olympic inspired and featured activities. How many depends on the length of time you have available, the size of your group and your activity requirements.
The Activity Options-
Archery
Although the targets are closer than you would find in an Olympic competition the premise is the same-to hit as close to the centre of the target to accumulate more points. Our archery team consists of GNAS Archery Leaders who will give you the best tuition possible in this popular and well established sport. Over many years our team has developed a simplified coaching method which allows all participants to learn quickly, and shoot more consistently than you would ever thought possible in such a short space of time!
Challenge Area
Featuring a series of Olympic inspired / featured events where teams will need to work together to ensure the best possible result for their team.
Crazy Tennis- A fun game of tennis, using oversized racquets with a small net and foam balls, the challenge is on to achieve the longest rally possible.
Alternative Boat Race- The teams race their very own boat in this alternative boat race, which can take place with or without water!!
Basketball- A race to shoot as many baskets as possible in the time period, with team members retrieving and returning their basketball to save time.
Sumo Penalty Shoot Out- A hilarious activity, participants dressed in sumo suits must dribble a football around some cones before having a shot at goal. Two teams race head to head , the Sumo Suit must be swapped to the next team member on every rotation.
Chariot Challenge
Inspired by the chariot racing that appeared at the ancient Olympic games the team has to work together to decipher how to piece together a human powered 'Ben Hur' Chariot. Having completed the build they must then manoeuvre their Chariot through a slalom course in the fastest time possible, but with blindfolded 'horses' this is guaranteed to be a fantastic and very amusing communication exercise.
Human Table Football
The human table football can follow the same format as an Olympic football tournament with teams playing group and knockout matches (depending on the time available). This huge inflatable version of the popular pub game is hilarious fun! Human players play five-a-side football attached to poles which slide from side to side across an arena with inflatable sides.
Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting
In Olympic Shotgun events, competitors shoot at moving clay targets launched from the trap with shotguns. Our laser clay pigeon shooting system uses authentic but deactivated 12-bore shotguns that have been fitted with harmless laser equipment. The system gives 5 players the opportunity to shoot at the clay at a time, increasing the sense of competition. The equipment generates the shot gun 'bang' and when a player hits the target the sound effects of the clay shattering can be heard.
