Here’s a huddle that gets more powerful the more people you have.

The key points are, above all, volume and tempo! By changing the volume together and adding inflection in sync with the leader standing at the center of the huddle, everyone’s voices become one, turning into a huge force that lets you take control of the atmosphere across the entire venue.

In the second half, everyone raises their hands and moves toward the center, and you can feel the excitement building as they chant at a faster tempo.

If you want to supercharge your team’s motivation, definitely use this as a reference.

Let’s stay focused!

Here’s a recommended team huddle for when you want to unite everyone’s feelings and take on a challenge together.

Have each member call out a short phrase in turn—like “Let’s push forward,” “Quick transitions matter,” or “Let’s stay focused.” By voicing these one by one, everyone’s mindset and determination come through, strengthening your team bond.

A highlight of this huddle is the moment when each person lightly pats the next teammate on the back in sequence.

That small touch builds a sense of security and unity—“I have teammates fighting with me.” A heart-connected huddle is sure to become an unforgettable, special moment.

Give it a try!

In a team huddle, movements that boost the sense of unity are also a major point.

By making the motions in the huddle larger, you can loosen up your body, lift your spirits, and perhaps even project an intimidating presence to the opponent.

By giving a unique twist to this pre-game staple, you can create not just momentum, but also a sense of excitement about taking on the match.

This distinctive huddle weaves together a range of emotions directed toward the game, along with wishes for luck to turn in our favor, forming a unique sequence.

Shouting loudly while forming a huddle is great, but quietly coming together to boost team morale before a match is also highly recommended! While in the huddle, having the team captain talk about lessons learned from previous games can fire everyone up, strengthen unity, and help each player calmly simulate how they should move in this match.

Sometimes, having the captain use slightly negative wording can actually motivate the team, so feel free to give it a try.

Habachikas

Habachikas is an Okinawan word that means “to wield influence,” or in this context, “to elevate one’s reputation.” In the video, they say “wattā ga 〇〇 wo habachikasu,” where 〇〇 is the school name, meaning “we will raise 〇〇’s reputation.” Forming a huddle and shouting “Habachikas!” in unison instantly boosts the team’s morale.

In sports with many players, like baseball, a huddle adds impact and puts pressure on the opposing team.

The person in the center who fires up their teammates is also key, so be sure to take notes from this!

Idol group huddle

It’s standard for idol groups to form a huddle before going on stage to fire themselves up.

The content varies by group, and each has its own way of boosting their morale.

In smaller groups, they might call out numbers in order or call each member’s name to build a sense of unity.

In larger groups, it’s common to shout a set sequence of phrases, which creates not only unity but also a sense of power.

Having an established routine brings tradition to the team and builds momentum toward victory.

You can definitely do it.

As an idea to boost team morale by forming a huddle before a match, I think using self-suggestion could be one effective method.

In sports, mental imagery is a very important factor, so by forming a huddle and saying words that fire you up—like “We can do this” and “We’re absolutely going to win”—you can ease pre-game nerves and raise morale at the same time.

Give it a try not only for club activities, but also when you want to lift your class’s spirits at events like sports days or athletic festivals.
