HIGHLAND GAMES - CORPORATE EVENT
|
 |
The history of the Highland Games dates back to the 11th century, when Scottish warriors began to compete with each other in strength, dexterity and courage. Highland games are suitable as an all-day or half-day sports company day for small groups, as well as for entire company departments. In all disciplines you can compete both in teams and individually.
The basis of the Highland Games and your corporate event are tradicional disciplines, which include:
- Sheaf toss - the most attractive discipline thanks to unique tools; pitchfork and straw bale
- Caber toss - in this discipline is to focus mainly on technique and accuracy of the impact of log
- Stone put - Celtic ancestor of the shot put
- Weight throw - one-handed free style throw with weights
- Weight over the bar - throwing weights over a high bar is a real challenge
- Scottish hammer throw - an Olympic predecessor, but still uses a hammer with a handle
- Tug of war - a classic discipline in which the strength of individual clans or teams is shown exactly
In Scotland are precise weighting criteria and rules for all difficult disciplines. However, it can be made more difficult or even simpler for your corporate event!
