Want to create an unforgettable season for your athletes? A Secret Sister program might be exactly what your team needs to build stronger bonds and boost team spirit. As a coach or team mom, implementing this fun tradition can transform your regular season into an extraordinary experience of friendship and support.

What Is a Secret Sister Program?
Think of it as a season-long celebration of teamwork and friendship. Each athlete is secretly paired with another teammate, becoming their “Secret Sister.” Throughout the season, they’ll exchange small gifts, encouraging notes, and special surprises – all while keeping their identity hidden until the big reveal!

Why Your Team Needs This
• Strengthens team chemistry beyond practice hours
• Creates excitement around competitions and games
• Builds inclusive environment for all team members
• Develops thoughtful, supportive relationships
• Makes the season more memorable

Timing is Everything
Launch your program during pre-season or early season to maximize bonding opportunities. This gives teammates plenty of time to get creative and build anticipation.

Set Clear Guidelines
• Establish a reasonable budget ($5-10 per gift)
• Create a monthly theme calendar
• Set regular gift exchange dates
• Communicate parent expectations clearly

Make it Special
Keep the excitement high with monthly themes like:
• Competition Good Luck Gifts
• Favorite Snack Exchange
• Team Color Surprises
• Holiday-Themed Treats
• Pre-Competition Motivation

Pro Tip: Use a digital questionnaire to gather everyone’s likes, dislikes, and allergies. This makes gift-giving easier and more meaningful!

The Big Reveal
Plan an end-of-season celebration where Secret Sisters finally learn each other’s identities. Make it memorable with team photos, special awards, and shared stories about favorite gifts and moments.
