6th ANNUAL
LAV INVITATIONAL
FRIDAY NIGHT TEAM BUILDING WORKSHOP
Begins at 6:00pm and will conclude at 8:00pm- please arrive by 5:45pm.
A note from Melissa regarding the event -
"I'm super excited about working with these athletes and coaches on Friday night. Here's a few things that the coaches and athletes need to know about the event.
1. Athletes should wear athletic, comfortable clothing and tennis shoes. No need to wear practice or match gear. Just come comfortable.
2. Each team needs to bring the following with them:
-1 bandana for 1/2 the members of their team (team of 10 needs 5)
-1 toy or small stuffed animal that can not be broken. These will be tossed, so I would suggest animal toys or something along those lines. Please don't buy these things. If you don't have bandana's, small towels should do. Or scarves.
3. Each of the athletes and coaches should take the following online Enneagram test, prior to Friday night. We will be talking about the results of their test during the event. It's a personality test and it has about 40 questions."
