Active with friends, family or colleagues
Active company outing
Enjoy a fun and active day out with your colleagues at KOMAEN in Oirschot
Looking for an active company outing in North Brabant? At KOMAEN in Oirschot, you can swap the workplace for an afternoon of sporting challenges, unexpected achievements and plenty of fun with colleagues. Perhaps the quietest colleague turns out to be the best golfer, someone scores a surprising hole-in-one during footgolf, or the team that seemed least competitive ends up winning. With Pitch&Putt, footgolf, bubble football and knotshockey, you can choose between a relaxed sporting challenge and a match where teams give everything to win. It is not about who is the fittest person in the office, but about enjoying something different together and discovering another side of your colleagues.
Which sporting activity suits your group depends mainly on how much movement and competition your colleagues enjoy. Pitch&Putt calls for precision and patience, while footgolf challenges you to complete the course in as few kicks as possible. Prefer to compete directly against another team? Bubble football and knotshockey offer more physical action, unexpected moments and a competitive atmosphere. Not everyone needs to be equally sporty, but the chosen activity should suit your group size and participants' physical abilities. Would you like to explore other ways to spend time together besides sports? The company outings at KOMAEN offer more inspiration for an experience that suits your colleagues.
After the final hole or the referee's last whistle, there is plenty to talk about. Who won the match, which attempt went completely wrong and who surprised everyone? At KOMAEN, you can combine your sporting activity with drinks, a barbecue or another shared meal. The activities and catering are at the same venue, so there is no need to travel somewhere else afterwards. Whether you choose a short active afternoon followed by drinks or a more extensive programme with dinner, the arrangements can be tailored to your group and the available options. Located in Oirschot, near Eindhoven, Tilburg and 's-Hertogenbosch, KOMAEN offers companies in North Brabant a place to get active together and finish the day in a relaxed atmosphere.
Which team has the best swing, the most accurate kick or the highest score?
An active company outing reveals a different side of your colleagues. One person is determined to win from the start, while another takes a cautious approach and turns out to be surprisingly good halfway through. As you play, moments naturally arise that everyone will talk about later: a perfectly placed ball, a dramatic comeback or a team that manages to win in the final minute.
At KOMAEN, you can enjoy a sporting challenge in several ways. You might complete a course and try to improve your score, or compete directly against colleagues in a team match. This means an active afternoon does not have to look the same for everyone.
Skill and precision Every stroke counts Test your judgement of direction, distance and accuracy during Pitch&Putt. Staying calm can be just as important as having a competitive streak.
Playing a course Aim for the lowest score In footgolf, you try to complete each hole with as few kicks as possible. Every hole offers another opportunity to improve.
Team sports Face your colleagues on the field Bubble football and knotshockey put teams directly against one another, adding more pace and head-to-head competition.
A sporting outing does not need to be about performing at a high level. It is much more enjoyable when colleagues have fun taking on the challenge and everyone can participate in a way that suits the group.
Four sporting activities for a company outing in North Brabant
If you are planning an active afternoon with colleagues, it helps to decide what kind of game everyone would enjoy. The following four activities are available at KOMAEN, each with its own character and participation requirements.
Precision and skill Pitch&Putt golf
Who has the best tee shot, and who can keep their nerve when the ball is just a short distance from the hole? During Pitch&Putt at KOMAEN, you play golf on a course with shorter holes, including slopes, bunkers and water hazards that make the game more challenging.
You do not need golfing experience or a golf proficiency certificate. After a short introduction, you can head out onto the course. Choose between 9 or 18 holes, and for groups there is also the Texas Scramble team format. In this variation, the team continues from the best ball position after each shot.
Pitch&Putt is well suited to colleagues who enjoy being active outdoors but also want time to talk between shots.
Duration: approximately 1.5 hours for 9 holes or 2.5 hours for 18 holes.
Experience: none required; instructions and equipment are included.
Format: individual or team play.
Experience: none required; instructions and equipment are included.
Format: individual or team play.
Accessible and full of surprises Footgolf
During footgolf on the nine-hole course, the aim is to kick a football into each hole in as few attempts as possible. It sounds straightforward, but you need to judge direction, power and distance again and again along the way.
Because the rules are easy to understand, colleagues without previous football experience can join in too. Participants generally play in groups of around four and compare their scores as they move through the course.
Footgolf is a good option when you want an accessible outdoor activity that combines movement with relaxed conversations among colleagues.
Duration: approximately 1 hour.
Format: small groups playing a course.
Footwear: football boots with studs are not permitted.

Footwear: football boots with studs are not permitted.
Physical action and plenty of laughs Bubble football
An ordinary football match becomes something completely different when players wear large inflatable bubbles around their upper bodies. During bubble football, teams try to score while collisions and unexpected movements give the game its comical character.
Matches are supervised by a referee and can be organised as a tournament. This is a more physically demanding activity, particularly suited to colleagues who enjoy an energetic competition.
The standard bubble football format accommodates 15 to 28 participants. It can only be booked in combination with another activity or a food and drink arrangement, such as lunch, a barbecue or dinner.
Duration: approximately 1 hour.
Standard group size: 15 to 28 people.
Condition: must be combined with another activity or catering.

Condition: must be combined with another activity or catering.
Team competition with a twist Knotshockey
Anyone who thinks hockey is only for experienced players can expect a very different kind of match during knotshockey. Instead of a normal hockey stick, participants use a plastic stick with a soft foam head. This gives the game a playful and unpredictable character.
Matches are generally played four against four or five against five, under the supervision of a referee. The emphasis is on reacting quickly, scoring goals and taking on opposing teams.
Knotshockey is also offered in its standard format for groups of 15 to 28 people and can only be booked alongside another activity or a food and drink arrangement.
Duration: approximately 1 hour.
Standard group size: 15 to 28 people.
Condition: must be combined with another activity or catering.

The main difference lies in how you play. Pitch&Putt and footgolf involve completing a course. Bubble football and knotshockey are based on direct matches between teams and involve more physical action. Your group size and preferred level of exertion will help determine which activity is the best fit.
Which sport suits your colleagues?
You do not have to choose the most competitive activity to organise a fun sporting afternoon. The right choice is the sport that your group will genuinely enjoy.
We want to do something active without running all the time
Pitch&Putt and footgolf are better suited to a relaxed pace. You are active outdoors, but the challenge lies mainly in accuracy and achieving a good score.
We love competing against other teams
During bubble football and knotshockey, teams compete directly against one another. These activities are interesting for colleagues who enjoy a more competitive game.
Some colleagues rarely play sports
An activity with simple rules and less intense physical exertion may be more suitable. Pitch&Putt or footgolf could be a good fit, depending on the participants.
We want to chat while playing
An activity on a course generally allows more opportunities for conversation between turns than a match in which everyone is constantly moving.
We would like to announce a winner
You can do this in several ways: through individual scores on a course, a team competition or a suitable tournament format. Discuss which competition arrangements are possible in advance.
What makes an active outing fun for both beginners and competitive colleagues?
Sporting experience can vary considerably within a company. One colleague might play football every week, while another may never have picked up a golf club. With a well-chosen activity, that does not need to be a problem.
In Pitch&Putt and footgolf, colleagues start with straightforward rules. Experienced players can challenge themselves to improve their scores, while beginners can enjoy an unexpectedly good shot or kick. This creates an element of competition without everyone needing the same sporting background.
For beginners Easy to understand and get started A short introduction helps participants begin an accessible sport without extensive training.
For competitive colleagues Plenty of challenges Achieving a good score, tackling a difficult hole or beating an opponent provides extra motivation.
For the whole group Room for different preferences A suitable activity takes account of how much physical exertion participants enjoy and are comfortable with.
More physically demanding team sports such as bubble football and knotshockey are not automatically suitable for every colleague. Ask about any participation requirements in advance and discuss them when planning your programme.
A competitive sporting challenge or a relaxed game together?
Not every company outing needs to become a tournament. Sometimes completing a round and comparing scores afterwards is enough. Other groups particularly enjoy the competitive element, with teams trying to beat each other throughout the afternoon.
A relaxed challenge Complete a course and compare scores
During footgolf and Pitch&Putt, you can challenge yourself or your colleagues to get the best result. A round offers a pleasant mix of playing, watching and catching up.
A competitive challenge Matches against opposing teams
Bubble football and knotshockey are played as matches between teams. A tournament format can be discussed when the group size and schedule allow it.
Would you like to announce a winner afterwards? A short prize presentation can be an enjoyable way to finish. The result often gives everyone something to laugh about, especially when an unexpected colleague comes out on top.
How much time should you allow for an active company outing?
When planning the afternoon, the playing time is a useful starting point. However, you should also allow for the welcome and the time needed before everyone can begin.
Approximately 1 hour Footgolf or a team sport A round of footgolf or a standard bubble football or knotshockey session lasts around one hour. The team sports have additional booking conditions.
Approximately 1.5 hours 9 holes of Pitch&Putt An appealing choice when you want the sport to be the main part of the afternoon, with time for drinks afterwards.
Approximately 2.5 hours 18 holes of Pitch&Putt A more extensive sporting programme that gives participants longer on the golf course.
For larger groups, the total time required may differ because participants play in smaller groups and cannot always start together. Have the complete schedule confirmed before setting a starting time for drinks or dinner.
From the final hole to drinks or a barbecue together
After a sporting afternoon, it is nice to make time for everyone's stories. Who hit the perfect shot, which team won the match and who surprised themselves? At KOMAEN, you can stay for food and drinks after your activity, giving the day a relaxed continuation.
A short drinks reception works well when the main reason for your outing is the activity itself. If you prefer to spend more time together, a barbecue, buffet or dinner can provide an enjoyable conclusion.
Short and informal Drinks and snacks Talk about everyone's sporting achievements and enjoy a relaxed finish without a lengthy evening programme.
More time together A shared barbecue An informal meal where everyone comes together after the activity. Barbecues at KOMAEN are available for groups of at least 15 people.
A complete afternoon or evening Buffet or dinner A suitable option if you want to combine the sporting programme with a more extensive meal together.
If you would like to finish your company outing with a shared meal, you could choose a barbecue at KOMAEN. This can take place outdoors or indoors, depending on the arrangements and available space. Approximately 2.5 to 3 hours is usually allowed for a barbecue.
Discuss any dietary requirements and food allergies in advance. This also applies when choosing bubble football or knotshockey: according to the booking conditions, these sports must always be combined with another activity or a food and drink arrangement.
What could a sporting afternoon with colleagues look like?
The best schedule depends on the activity and how much time you want to spend together. These two examples show how a sporting programme can lead into an enjoyable conclusion.
Example 1 · Accessible and relaxed Pitch&Putt followed by drinks
14:00–14:30 Welcome drinks and a brief introduction to the afternoon.
14:30–16:00 9 holes of Pitch&Putt, with a suitable arrangement for participants.
16:00–16:15 Finish together and optionally compare scores.
From 16:15 Drinks and snacks with time to catch up.
Example 2 · Competitive team sport Knotshockey followed by a barbecue
15:00–15:30 Welcome for participants and an introduction to the programme.
15:30–16:30 Knotshockey in teams, within the suitable group size.
16:30–17:00 Finish the matches and enjoy a drink together.
From 17:00 A shared barbecue according to the arrangements made in advance.
For inspiration: these are example programmes, not fixed packages or confirmed time slots. The knotshockey example is intended for the standard group size of 15 to 28 people and meets the condition that the activity must be combined with catering. Pitch&Putt scheduling also depends on group size and the flow of players around the course.
What should colleagues know before taking part?
It helps when participants know in advance what kind of activity they will be doing. This allows them to wear suitable clothing and prepare for the amount of movement involved.
Clothing you can move in Special golf clothing is not required for Pitch&Putt. Comfortable sportswear is recommended for more physically demanding team sports.
Footwear suited to the activity For Pitch&Putt, ordinary shoes or sports shoes without heels or studs are suitable. Football boots with studs are not permitted during footgolf.
Preparing for the weather The activities take place outdoors. Choose clothing appropriate for the season and discuss the options in case of unfavourable weather.
Are any colleagues living with physical limitations or health-related considerations that could affect their participation? It is sensible to discuss which activity is appropriate in advance. Bubble football and knotshockey in particular can be more physically demanding than playing a course.
How to choose a sporting activity that suits your company
Organising an active company outing does not need to be complicated. A few clear decisions will help you put together a programme that colleagues can look forward to.
1
Find out who will be joining
Check how many colleagues will attend and consider different levels of sporting experience and physical ability.
2
Choose your preferred level of activity
Would your group rather complete a course at a relaxed pace or play competitive matches? This will largely determine which activities are suitable.
3
Decide on the type of competition
Think about individual scores, team challenges or direct matches against colleagues. Discuss the possibilities for an optional prize presentation.
4
Check the duration and group conditions
Not every sport has the same capacity or booking conditions. Share your group size and discuss the schedule for activities played in smaller groups.
5
Plan a shared finish to the day
Drinks or a meal afterwards give everyone an opportunity to finish the sporting afternoon together.
How much does an active company outing cost?
The cost depends on your chosen sport, the number of participants and how extensive you want the afternoon to be. A round on the golf course has a different pricing structure from a supervised team sport. A shared meal will also affect the overall budget.
The sporting activity
With Pitch&Putt, for example, it makes a difference whether you play 9 or 18 holes. Other sports have their own rates and group conditions. Compare not only the price, but also the duration and how participants take part.
Finishing with food and drinks
A short drinks reception requires a different budget from a full barbecue or dinner. Discuss in advance whether catering should be included in the available amount per person.
By providing an approximate budget and the expected number of participants when making your enquiry, you can discuss a suitable combination of activity and catering.
