Westlake Village, Calif. (PRWEB) June 14, 2010
Team members from Cydcor, the leading provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams, reigned victorious during the 21st annual Ventura Corporate Games, taking home four gold medals and one bronze. The six-week competition featured 66 companies from Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, divided into four divisions, that battled it out in a series of sporting events.
Cydcor team members were up for the challenge, competing in 15 different games including basketball, table tennis, lazertag, kick ball, and dominoes. The flag football team beat out some tough competition during a three game tournament, scoring 34-28 in the final game overtime victory that saw them take home the gold.
Cydcor’s men’s basketball team was also victorious, beating out last year’s rival and champion, the Ventura County District Attorney’s office, and thus securing another gold medal. Other Cydcor gold medal victories were seen in Texas Hold’em and Spades.
“The basketball win was ‘poetic justice’ and was due in part to the support received by Cydcor community team members,” said Team Coordinator Joel Daniels.
The games, however, aren’t just about winning medals. Volunteerism, sportsmanship and team spirit are the overarching objectives of participating. The Corporate Games honors teams that participate in community service activities such as beach cleanup and Habitat for Humanity. In addition, skill and teamwork is also demonstrated during the photo, t-shirt design and sand sculpture contests.
“The competition is not just about being the best at each event. It’s about teamwork, having fun, rooting for others, and being part of a community of local businesses participating in friendly competition,” said Corporate Games Community Services Director, Elena Brokaw.

For the first time Cydcor joined the ranks of Ventura county businesses for some friendly competition during the 2009 Ventura Corporate Games this spring. The company kicked off its participation by lending a hand (and a shovel) at one of the group’s community service events – the Harbor Wetlands Restoration Project.
More than 60 business entities in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties join together every spring to compete in the Corporate Games hosted by the City of Ventura. Last year, nearly 10,000 employees competed against each other and took part in community service events. Each company earns points based on how teams do in each event – with 30 events in 30 days.
“This competition is similar to Cydcor’s own culture,” said Vera Quinn, senior vice president of operations for Cydcor. “Creating a strong sense of unity and teamwork among fellow employees is important to our business’ core and we’re happy to share the experience with other companies in our community.”
As one of the first to assist in the creation of the Ventura Harbor Ecological Reserve, Cydcor team members, their friends and family members, removed invasive non-native plants in order to restore the spot to its natural state and began to clear an entry pathway to the reserve – a place that will soon be designated a scenic area along the coastline. This promotes nesting for migratory birds that have trouble nesting in the current environment.
“It’s a pleasure that Cydcor joined this year’s Corporate Games and we look forward to future years of fun and networking,” said Rosie Ornelas, Volunteer Coordinator for the City of Ventura. “We do our best to bring the community together – not only for old-fashioned fun and competition, but for a common cause.”
