The document proposes holding massive pep rallies at the beginning of each sports season to increase campus morale and support for athletic teams. The pep rallies would be open to students, families, and the local community. They would feature speeches from coaches and players of all sports teams about their goals for the upcoming season. The events aim to familiarize people with all teams and address issues like a lack of representation for all teams and overlapping events that focus on only one sport.

2. The Problem:

3. Our Idea:
 Massive Pep Rally at the beginning of the Fall,
Winter, and Spring sports seasons.
 Goal is to increase campus morale and invigorate
athletic teams

4. What it will look like:
 Open to the community/festival (students, family, local residents)
 Intertwined with orientation (great way to welcome incoming freshmen)
 Students/Community will become familiar with all sports teams
 Coaches/Players from each team will have the chance to speak
to the student body (plans for upcoming season, what support the teams may
need)

5. What it will look like continued…
 Want to make event fun for all
 Students, children, faculty, etc…
 Connect with Student Life as they already have “Spring
Carnival”
 Have games, contests, information
 Have coaches and captains speak to the audience about
team goals and what kind of support they’d like
 Finish with Bonfire or some kind of coming together

6. Current Similar Ideas
 Only current thing is Midnight Madness/ Ballin on
Burwell
 Not done every year and only 1 sport

7. Drawbacks
 Too many Pep-Rallies
 Not all teams represented
 Timing of events overlapping with current seasons
 Possible too much emphasis on one team

8. Solutions
 Only three Pep-Rallies, one at beginning of each
season
 Having all teams represented/explaining team
goals
 Finding best possible times so that current season
teams aren’t effected
 Celebration of all season teams not just one main
one

9. Benefits
 Increase Community, both Queens and
surrounding, involvement/awareness
 Provide teams support and warmth, acknowledge
dedication + success
 Increase school spirit
 Increase support system amongst teams
 All of us are fighting for the same “team”
