I'm in charge of a 'fire up' for my team... help?

Question

I need to 'fire up' or 'pump up' my volleyball team before our match... I'm the first person on the team to do this, so I have no idea what to do. Some examples my coach gave were do a dance or rap, or bring in those fireball candy things for the team and do something with fire?? but I can't do that because it was her idea and she won't let me... so any ideas you have are welcome!

Answer 1

my team does the pony dance!!

Answer 2

ummm, we play this game where everyone is laying down in a circle with their hands out in front of them.  your right hand goes to the right of the person to your right's left hand, and your left hand goes to the left of the person to your left's right hand.  So it would go my left hand, (let's say stacie is to the left of me) stacie's right hand, (let's say marcy is to the right of me) marcy's left hand, and my right hand, etc. all the way around the circle.  One person starts the game by slapping the floor.  The person's hand that is to the right of the starter must then slap the floor next. Then the person to her right, etc.  If someone slaps the floor twice, then the direction gets reversed and instead of going to the right, you go to the left.  If someone forgets to slap the floor, or slaps the floor when it isn't their turn, then that hand is out of the game.  the object is to be the last two.

Another game that we play is called elevate your body.  It's a song kinda thing and everyone is in a circle and they start off by singing "Elevate your body.  Get yourself together.  When I say 1,2,3 (then the first person says: "do this with me" while doing some sort of dance move).  Then everyone goes "1,2,3.  do this with me" (while doing the dance move).  Then you start the song over and the next person in the circle gets to do the dance move.  If you want to do either of these two games but need more of an explination, feel free to email me.  I hope I could help you.

Answer 3

you're fired.

Answer 4

my team jumps up and down while doing our chant

also have a team get together before matches so you are closer that helps you get more excited in the games. Get them really excited by smiling and motivating! Be in a good mood and people will follow

Answer 5

Last year my team did this: jog around the court once, then when you get to the volleyball inline shuffle up to the net then do aproach jumps or block jumps with out a ball. Everyone follows the first person but a good ways off so that everyone has room. Then the very first person, after finishing the blocks or aproaches, goes to the middle of your side of the court and starts a clap or chant. Like we clapped once on the floor and then clapped our hands, then clapped the floor twice and then clapped again, and kept going until all the girls got to the circle on the floor, then everyone starts betting the floor and going faster and faster and then everyone yells GOOOOOOOOO (Team name)!!!! and then throw their hands in the air. Hope this helps!
