Team bonding exercises

I coach a team who seem to lack enthusiasm. They donât smile - donât really interact with each other. We have been losing badly each week and I was thinking this may contribute to there lack of cohesiveness? I want them to enjoy there time win or lose and maybe some team bonding may help? Any ideas ?

If you donât already, add some fun gamers to your warm ups. Games that use Netball skills without the girls realising. Some ones that gets some laughs are rats & rabbits, tails, sumo wrestlers, and their are lots more. Fun way to start a training session. I also play music for the first part of our training session. Get the girls to create a play list of the songs they like. This might help them bond and interact more.
