The Corporate Games collectively form Australia's largest multi-sport championships. Sydney hosted the first Games (in which businesses participate to raise much-needed funds for charities) in 1993, with over 1,200 competitors taking part. The Games expanded to Melbourne in 1997 and then to Brisbane in 2000 and are now held annually in each of these capital cities (along with a 'Winter Games' in Thredbo).
Each year the various Corporate Games attract a total of more than 22,000 participants from thousands of organisations around Australia. Over 140,000 individuals, representing 3,000 companies have competed in the Games so far. (The largest team to date was from the Queensland Government who entered 1,519 employee athletes this year.)
In Double Drummer's 6th year as an alliance partner of the NSW Corporate Games, you can participate in your very own multi-sport event in 2013 AND help raise money for Australian Diabetes Council. Join Double Drummer and compete in the DD Corporate Games team from March 14-17, 2013.
If you work for yourself, for a company that's not participating in the Games, or you just want to join in the fun, be part of the Double Drummer team! It's a great way to meet new friends while playing your favourite sport and it's open to all ages and skill levels.
To compete in the Games under the DD banner and help us raise money for Australian Diabetes Council, simply join up as a Double Drummer member and then choose the sports in which you'd like to compete. There are 20 popular sports from which to choose and all events will be held in and near Sydney on one of four days, with the Games Award Dinner to be held on Monday evening March 19. Individual and company medals will be awarded.

You will receive an e-mail with all the Games' and payment details after your team is finalised.
