Team bonding moments can occur in the form of motivational pep talks focused on maintaining a positive mentality and refocusing efforts for the next play.
In some instances, structured games are employed to keep the players engaged and energized. These games, inspired by team-building methods, may include pass-the-ball exercises, physical commands like "Apple, Orange, Banana," or lightweight pole coordination challenges such as the modified Helium Stick game. To keep it brief and hassle-free, these games have time-bound rounds, minimal setup, and prioritize laughter over competition to reduce stress.
