TEAM Spirit Theme Chart The best part of being on a sports team is sharing experiences together. Success comes from cooperation and respect, even when someone makes a mistake. These same qualities that help athletes win are also valuable in everyday life. Even Jesus chose a team to show us what TEAM Spirit is all about. MEGA Verse: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32, NIV

Where Do I Start? 1. Choose your sports
Think about athletic people in your church or community. Offer sports these people would like to lead. It’s a great chance to get new people involved, like college students and parents. You’ll need a gym, grassy area, or parking lot. If you have none of those, opt to use facilities at a park or school. See p. 11 for sports playbooks.
3. Recruit and train your team
The Director Guide gives job descriptions for every volunteer. Coaches focus on just one part—sports, music, Bible lessons, small groups, or snacks. Segments on the Director DVD make training a snap.
2. Choose your schedule
Almost every format you can dream up, MEGA Sports Camp curriculum can fit. If the 5-day, 3-hour schedule shown below doesn’t work for you, spread it out for 10 weeknights or Saturdays. See MEGASportsCamp.com for schedule options.

For today’s drills you will need pinnies, cones, and soccer balls.
SESSION 1:
Technical Session, Dribbling
WARM-UP GAME Tails
Do not form teams. Give each kid a pinny and have him tuck it into the back of his shorts to make a “tail” that is long enough to swing back and forth. Set boundaries with cones in relationship to the size of your group. Give each kid a ball. Explain the game: 1. Each player dribbles and tries to protect his tail while trying to pull out the tails of other players. 2. A player may not hold his tail to protect it. When a player pulls out a tail, he throws it to the ground. The player who has lost his tail must kneel where the tail landed until the game ends. He may steal tails from other players who come within reach of his kneeling spot. He may not leave his knees. 3. The last person with a tail wins.
VARIATIONS: Play the game with designated tail colors. Allow the girls to play against the boys.
INTRODUCTION: Emphasize three key points about dribbling: 1. Players must change speeds. 2. They must change direction. 3. They must keep their heads up as they dribble. This is crucial to creative play. Use any of the following drills during the technical session. They should be mixed in and around your instructional time on dribbling. Choose the ones that best fit your group and plan.
