Kick-off lock-in

[Pierson]

This idea was kicked around, however, since my team is a west coast team, we get up at 5AM to go to drive to the remote kickoff site. Then we caravan back to the build-site, eat lunch, break into groups to think about the game, and everyone is pretty spent by 4PM so everyone is sent home to brainstorm and come back the next day refreshed!

I don't think it will be to hard to get district approval, Our student council has lock-ins just before homecoming week to decorate. I don't think we will be doing much brainstorming. I think the idea was to start thinking about the game, but mostly have workshops and a movies.

I think starting the season off with a lock-in is a bad idea. You will likely endup sleep deprived by the end of the season, no reason to start off the season that way. I do like the idea of one in December though. It would be a good team building excercise.

well liek i said you can also have a lock in well in advance like we are having ours 3 weeks before kick off...its just a time when the team can bond and get to know each other more since you will be spending a whole lot of time with these strangers!

all we need to have a lock in is a building permit and permission slips from everyone who is going...doesn't sound too tough!

[K.Shaw]

good luck!.....for us it would be thousands of dollars and all that other stuff you said

For the lock in, we plan to do a bunch of team building type activities also. so far we have ideas like flashlight tag, and capture the flag..things like that. if you have any other ideas for fun team games, i would appreciate your ideas. thanks!
