How does your team bond?

Post by CoriolisLover »

HELP! My team's favorite invitational just got cancelled. We always spent the night before that invitational in a hotel and went bowling or played laser tag, and it was always the highlight of my year. I'm looking for team-bonding alternatives, because our coach won't let us spend the night at a hotel for no reason :cry: Please share some ideas!

This has always been my favorite type of team bonding activity: find an event that everyone can participate in and create teams. WIDI, Picture This, Pentathlon, and Mystery Architecture were ones that my team has used in the past, according to which event was actually available that year. These mini competitions were fun, and they helped the people who actually participated in those events.

Thanks! That would be a good idea for practice, but I'm also looking for something to do on a Saturday as a break from practice. We'll probably end up going to a museum or something.

That's actually a great idea... After we place our finishing touches on the devices everybody should hold a mini competition! :D Cool idea...

If your team has the budget or is willing to raise money, maybe you could all go play Laser-Tag or go bowling on a Saturday anyway... :)
