Real Connection. Lasting Impact.
Your team doesn’t need another team-building activity. They need a shared experience that changes how they work together.
TogetherVSmile Connect (TVS Connect) is a premium, fully hosted team experience designed to create real human connection through shared challenge, psychological safety, and collective momentum.
Delivered by TogetherVSmile and powered by the SuperNova Badminton platform, every experience combines professional facilitation with live competition infrastructure trusted by Melbourne’s most active badminton community.
30-minute call. No obligation. We’ll recommend the best format for your team size and goals.
Does your team communicate… but not truly connect?
Surface-Level Engagement
Slack or Teams Chat is busy. Meetings happen. Updates flow. But real trust doesn’t form through task-talk — so collaboration stays transactional.
Invisible team silos
Misunderstandings grow when people only know each other by role. It’s not intentional — it’s what happens when teams don’t connect as humans.
New hires who don’t belong (yet)
They learn systems fast. Belonging takes longer. Without meaningful shared moments, people stay on the outside looking in.
When these gaps persist, it's not just a feeling. It’s felt in diminished team energy, fragmented collaboration and an uphill battle for talent retention and organisational momentum.
It doesn't have to be this way.
The Old Assumption
Team connection happens naturally over time.
More meetings. More messages. More activities.
What Actually Happens
- Surface-level communication
- Invisible team silos
- Disconnected new hires
Productive — but disconnected.
The Reality
Connection must be engineered
Not accidental. Not forced. Designed.
TVS Connect applies this principle to create trust, safety and shared momentum by design.
Engineered by Design — Not by Chance
Every element of TVS Connect follows four non-negotiable design principles that consistently create trust, safety, and team momentum.
Equal Participation
Everyone contributes. No spectators. Every activity is designed so each person matters to the outcome — building inclusion, ownership, and psychological safety from the start.
Shared Intensity
Real stakes create real bonds. Live scoring, rotation, and finals create emotionally engaging moments that teams experience together — not passively.
Permission to Be Imperfect
Mistakes are part of the system. Lowering the fear of failure unlocks vulnerability, laughter, and authentic human connection.
Memory Lock-In
Moments become shared stories. Photos, finals, medals, and celebration turn a few hours into a reference point teams carry back into work.
This is not a collection of activities. It’s a system — deliberately engineered to build teams.
This methodology is delivered through structured live formats, real-time scoring and professionally hosted experiences refined across hundreds of players and teams.
The Science Behind Connection
TVS Connect isn't just fun; it's built on a foundation of scientific research into what makes teams truly thrive. We leverage proven principles to forge stronger, more cohesive units.
Psychological Safety
Google’s Project Aristotle found this to be the #1 predictor of high-performing teams — people feeling safe to speak up, try, and fail.
Shared Intense Experience
Yale research shows emotionally engaging experiences build stronger trust than passive activities.
Collective Effervescence
When teams focus on the same high-stakes moment together, shared identity forms faster and lasts longer.
his experience is built on well-established research into what actually makes teams trust, perform and stay connected under pressure.
From Arrival to Real Connection — In 4 Hours

No logistics | No stress |No surprises.
But my team isn't sporty.
This experience is not about athletic ability. It’s about participation, teamwork, and shared moments — not skill.
In fact, teams where everyone starts on equal footing often connect faster and more authentically.
The quiet analyst
Surprises everyone with their unexpected agility.
The loudest voice
Misses an easy shot and laughs at themselves, breaking barriers.
The leader
Laughs at their own mistakes, humanising their role.
The shy designer
Makes the winning play, finding their voice in the moment.
When people step slightly outside their comfort zone — and realize it’s safe to be imperfect — real connection forms.
You don’t need to be fit. You don’t need to be competitive. You don’t need to be “sporty”.
You just need to be willing to show up and play.

What This Experience Delivers
Not promises. Not hype. These are the outcomes TVS Connect is intentionally designed to create.
Stronger Trust
Teams experience psychological safety through shared challenge and permission to be imperfect — accelerating trust that normally takes months to build.
Better Communication
When people play together, hierarchies soften. Conversations become more open, honest, and human back at work.
Real Team Energy
Shared intensity and celebration reignite momentum — replacing fatigue with a sense of collective purpose.
Lasting Connection
The experience creates a shared reference point teams carry forward — not a one-off event that’s forgotten by Monday.
These outcomes don’t happen by chance. They happen because the experience is engineered for them.
