Boosting Team Spirit Is A Great Team Building Idea
This is a great Booster Club idea to help pump up team spirit. Team building on a high school sports team or within a club or organization sometimes falls solely to the coach or coordinator. Over the years, I have found that parents or booster club groups can add to the team building process through FUN! Fun for both the kids and the parents.
My funniest team Booster Club idea: Ring and Run the team.. fondly renamed by my daughter's field hockey team as "DING,DONG, DITCH". In the week before the County Finals, we wanted to get them psyched up. It was close to Halloween and my imagination went wild. I found adorable wooden pumpkins at the local Michael's craft store. I bought them, called some of the booster clubs Moms and we sprung into action. We personalized the pumpkins with a slogan "Carve Up Westwood", our county opponent. Then off we went in the car to each girl's house. We hung the pumpkin on their door, rang the bell and took off, our get away driver ready at the curb! The girls were calling, IM'ing and texting all night .. Who Is It??
Based on the success, the crazy moms continued their nightly haunts for the rest of the week. It had to be one of the funniest and most memorable weeks for us and the girls just loved it. Some left theirs on their doors, others brought them into school to decorate their lockers. This small gesture generated more enthusiasm and spirit for under $30 than anything we could have possibly bought them all. Take a look at some of our other "ring and run" goodies!
The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. We filled the cup above with bubble gum to go with the "Chew Up" slogan. I loved the chick in the basket for #1 Chicks with Sticks! Check out the craft stores and see what you find. Wooden airplanes that encourage them to "Fly By" their opponent. Monkey socks with "We don't monkey around". This funny idea may have been the best Booster club ideas and team building experience ever~
So get busy with this fun and funny Booster Club idea. It will help with team building.. spread the spirit, generate enthusiasm and have some fun. No kids at home BUT I still work with our HS field hockey team training them annually on all these crazy projects! I have become the perennial Team Mother!
As an added idea.. My sister did this for her 8 year old's soccer team. It was a HUGE hit...'Ring and Run" works for all age groups.. Who would have figured??
