Archery tag may be considered as a fun team building activity by many but there is so much more beyond that. Here are 5 ways archery tag can benefit your physical and mental health.

Focus

This is a big one. You have to both focus on hitting your opponent, while also keeping track of the chaos going on in the game and not getting shot. Additionally, you will need to filter out all the distractions and focus on your individual objective so as to achieve a collective result. For instance, if you are is in-charge of collecting the arrows (ammos), you will need to focus on getting as many bows from the ground instead of shooting at your opponents. This skill can then be brought back to the office as focus also helps you cope with the high-pressure situation which is helpful in daily life.

Improves hand-eye coordination

The primary benefit of archery tag is that it improves one’s hand-eye coordination as players are required to aim and shoot while running from one point to another without getting shot. However, don’t fret if you’re not an expert in it as coordination can be improved with practice. Over time you’ll gets better at gaining control of your body.

Socialising, Collaboration & Team Work

You do not need to be some sort of young fitness guru to enjoy this team building activity as archery tag is meant to be played by and with everyone. If you aren’t aware by now, the arrow tips are made of foam! This makes archery tag an extremely safe sport that can be be enjoyed even by children. Furthermore, archery tag also encourages players to collaborate and work together to achieve their goals – to win, making it a perfect way to socialise and make new friends. 

Analytical Skills

Because there is so much going on during a game, you will eventually have to prioritise certain plays or tactics to either gain the advantage or survive an onslaught.

Improves confidence

Seeing your arrow hitting your opponent, along with the cheers and support by your team, is always a great way to boost both your self-esteem and your confidence. To make things more exciting, results can be tabulated to improve a team’s form and boost an individual’s self-esteem and confidence.
