Winner's Circle

Just as it's important to start every game with a conversation, it's equally important to have a postgame conversation!

"Winner's Circle" is a more high-energy way to bring closure to a game. Here's how to implement it after your next game:

• Players stand in a circle, often linking arms
• The floor is open to anyone who wants to offer appreciation and recognition to another team member
• After each person speaks, the entire circle moves to give that player a high-five

At the end you can recognize players who contributed who haven't been recognized.
 

Even in a losing effort, your players did many positive things that deserve recognition!
