Young People ProgrammesYouth Team Building
CatZero designs and organises bespoke programmes for youth sports teams in order to encourage motivation, aspiration and engagement amongst pupils. With over 4 years of experience in delivering innovative and successful programmes to unemployed young people in the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire areas, CatZero uses sailing at the heart of each tailored programme to develop a youth team’s transferrable skills in self-confidence, teamwork and cognitive problem solving. CatZero takes its name from the insurance rating of the yacht, classed as “category zero”, meaning it can take on all conditions in any part of the world. We take this “no-limits” approach into our work with young people to enable and support them in achieving their full potential.
The programme will be undertaken using Restorative Practices (RP) methodology which enables those involved to challenge and support each other in a controlled environment with each person having an equal say in any decisions and, most importantly, how they feel about what is happening. RP is a fundamental component of any Catzero programme and is a crucial tool in assisting team dynamics, communication and development, as well as developing confidence and self-esteem and aiding personal action planning.
“The players worked brilliantly together on board… illustrating how the unique environment challenges individuals and teams to support each other to achieve common goals.” (Jim Dick, Chairman of CatZero, speaking to www.hull.co.uk about a team building day aboard CatZero involving player from both Hull KR and Hull FC Rugby League teams

Through consultations, CatZero and your organisation will identify targets and aims and come to an agreed solution about how to achieve these key goals through our product and service range. Typically we then present the action plan to the team accessing the programme, before taking them on a two day introduction event, where we engage them in physical and cognitive activities to introduce them to teamwork, leadership and communication principals. Following this, we use classroom based sessions to study voyage details and potential destinations, before embarking on the residential element of the challenge on board our Challenge 72 Racing Yacht.
Developing self-esteem, aspirational goal setting and practical skills, CatZero’s youth team development programme has a strong history of inspiring and developing young people, giving them a unique team building opportunity and the chance to build and develop relationships within a group.
