Bouncing Around

June 13th 2024 saw 60 enthusiastic employees from Rosebank businesses gather at Bounce Avondale’s exciting new setup on Jomac Place. Anticipation filled the air as participants eagerly awaited the array of activities ahead.

Bounce’s new setup did not disappoint. Teams rotated to face off against other business groups, with the day’s objective being to “enjoy friendly competition while having fun.”  Laughter and smiles filled every corner of the venue, creating an infectious energy that underscored the event.

Trampolining is well-known for boosting wellbeing by improving cardiovascular health, muscle strength, coordination, and immunity. It releases endorphins, lifting moods and reducing stress while enhancing cognitive functions, happiness, and social connections.

The Bounce event featured an impressive lineup of five engaging activities. Dodgeball tested agility, speed, and accuracy, with some competitors showcasing exceptional skill. The newly introduced X-Run, a hit among those aspiring to be ninja warriors, featured a blend of monkey bars, ropes, and ladders. Sam and Tessa from C-Tech emerged as the fastest male and female in this rigorous event.

The Wall Climb presented a vertical challenge that demanded agility and strength, with Hilton and Jackie from GWA proving the quickest climbers. Laughter echoed throughout the venue as participants pushed their bodies to match the swift expectations they had set for themselves. 

Meanwhile, the Basketball Shoot the Hoop competition proved to be a crowd favourite, challenging employees to blend bouncing and shooting. Once the technique clicked, many showcased impressive skills.

Lastly, the Foam Pit Tower Build saw teams racing to construct the highest foam tower in two minutes, ensuring it stood for another minute. The resulting towers were hilariously wonky and couldn’t stand the test of time. This activity fostered teamwork and creativity among participants.

Special thanks go to the fantastic staff at Bounce for organising and running the activity course; they ensured everyone had a blast and that the event ran smoothly. It was great to see businesses interacting over shared food, further enhancing the day’s camaraderie and fun.

Congratulations to Robin, Jerry, Tomeniko, Pale, Gregory, and Alatina from Autex Industries, who were the overall winners of the RBA Bounce Event.
