Re: Pre Game ritual
Back when I was on 71, thre two drivers, HP, and one coach would stand in a circle with both hands in the middle. The three kids would start jumping up and down while the HP (usually) would give a pre-match pep talk. He'd go over the goals of the match or whatever. At the end he'd give a "Team on 3...1..2...3...TEAM" as we all stopped jumping and threw our hands down. Then everyone would pound fists with everyone else and take positions. In eliminations, we would get all three teams in the huddle, go through the pep talk, and do the big "TEAM on 3" before going into our jumping huddle.
Sometimes the rest of the team would split into two groups on the side of the field and have a "Yeah" ware. The two sides would alternate, "YEAH....YEAH...YEAH...YEAH....YEAH...YEAH...YEAH. ..YEAH..." and everyone together would end with an, "OH YEAH!!!" Those could get quite loud.
