SPREAD A LITTLE CHEER
GET FAMILIES INVOLVED
The #1 reason why athletes play sports is because it is a fun activity. If playing games are taken too seriously, they no longer become games; activities that supposed to be filled with joy and excitement.
- Support Teams By Doing The Following
- 1. Give a quick boost of encouragement by tacking up a new quote once a week.
- 2. Start Traditions. If you’re worried about keeping energy levels up during a long, winless season, keep your eyes peeled for the “Most Spirited” teammate and award a special token. Awards can be simple, like a stuffed mascot that is passed along after each game. Each recipient can add a personal touch, such as a signature or sticker.
- 3. Take time to send out a press release to the school newspaperor local press recognizing accomplishments of your players. You might assign a parent on the team to do this for you.
- 4. Decorate vehicles before the big game to get your team pumped up.
- 5. Encourage the athletes to come up with their own unique pregame cheer.
- 6. Create unique phrases or quick, simple chants that the players can say during the game when a teammate does something well.
- 7. Make posters, signs or “noise bottles” for fans.
- 8. Sell a t-shirt to fans with a design the players create. This could be a fundraiser to put towards a special team-bonding event.
- 9. Encourage players to create their own “warm-up” music to use pre-game and during practices.
