I know this isn't directly related to PT, but this forum seems to be the closest match to this subject.
I was passed on an e-mail by Cadre from the cheer and dance team coaches at my university to ask if we could run some sort of team building training between the cheerleaders and the dancers. I know, hard life, huh?
Talking with the Lieutenant Colonel, we're basically going to be putting on a three hour FLRC type course. We have a few ideas of some things to do, but we're struggling to come up with three hours worth of good stuff (well, appropriate stuff anyways. I have plenty of ideas for some "follow on training"...) with what we have available to us (empty grass field, rope, boards, cinder blocks, engineer tape, a litter, water jugs).
The ideas I have so far are:
- The human knot (where about 5-6 people stand in a circle, grab the hands of two different people across from you, and then the group must manipulate itself to undo the knot).
- Rope knot. I'm planning on take about a 50 feet of rope and tying a few knots in it, about 15 feet apart, and then using engineer tape to tie the girls to the rope. They would then have to untie the knots in the rope without untying themselves from the rope. Maybe blind fold them as well.
- Blind litter carry across a minefield/through a track of cones. Blindfold everyone and designate one person to control those carrying the litter. Maybe put a time crunch on it, maybe an obstacle of some sort.
Any ideas that can be accomplished with the resources available or easily/cheaply obtainable would be greatly appreciated. Will post pictures afterwards.
