Team Building Activities:

Team building is a process to help your group bond by using collective thoughts and skills to achieve a shared goal.  The stronger a team’s connection the better it can be overall.   Try some of these bonding exercises to help build your team.

TEAM SLEEPOVER! – Have a FULL TEAM sleepover.  At the sleepover, bake/decorate cookies to give to the players before the big game (deliver them at school!)  Collectively make signs to show team spirit. SET A BED TIME!!! Then wake up early to do everybody's hair the same for the pep rally!

SECRET PSYCHER  -  Pick names out of a hat and have each cheerleader create a "psych-up" gift(s) before the big event (game/competition).  Make sure everyone includes a note that lets the other person know just how important they are to the team.

CREATE NEW MATERIAL –  Wow your crowd with some great new material and feel good about the fact that it’s your own!  Brainstorm ideas for new words/motions to create your VERY OWN team cheer.  Have each team member (individual/groups) be in charge of a section.

GO TO SUMMER CHEER CAMP – NCA/UCA, etc. and spend the night!  These cheer camps focus on team building, as well as developing skills and teaching new material.  Check out the sites below to find a camp near you!
