Your focus
Cumulative scoring creates escalating stakes that demand sustained competitive drive. Championship format mirrors tournament environments where every point matters. Teams that train under tournament-style pressure develop the mental fortitude needed for real competition.
Divide team into 3 teams of equal size; run a round-robin mini championship.
Each game is 8 minutes; full effort required for the full game.
Points accumulate: 3 for win, 1 for draw, 0 for loss.
After the championship, the losing team runs while the winning team watches, respectful but meaningful consequence.
Helpful cues
- Every game matters, don't decide any game is low stakes
- Championship mentality: bring it from the first whistle
