The familiar scents of freshly cut grass itching the nostrils, the lights come up and you charge onto the field. The crowds roar as the teams assemble at the 50-yard line.
The coin.
A flip.
And the guest team punts the ball deep into your territory. The ball bounces to a stop. You scoop it up and charge down the field. Cheerleaders pump the crowd with inspiration. Teachers, friends, family, and neighbors stand up and shout for joy.“RUN! GET IT DOWN THERE!”
Charging forward the field lines blur by like a white picket fence.
Lights flicker outside your field of view.
Coaches and teammates are yelling.
You have one goal, one mission.
"Just a few more yards!"
Bam! You're airborne.
Time comes to a stop.
A second.
A minute.
Several minutes?Gripping onto the ball against your abdomen with all your strength, you roll to the ground. “Where am I?” you question. The crowd screams. Cheerleaders jump and pompoms fly. The ball, tightly in your grasp, is over the opponents' goal line. “TOUCHDOWN!”
While all eyes were upon the field, everyone forgot about the efforts behind the scenes. Nobody at the game that night knew of the work of the coaches, athletic directors, and school administrators that brought the game together. It takes hours of planning and some great ideas to make school games a success.

-
Local Partnerships - Target the places where participants and fans have the most probability of meeting. It could be local gyms, cafes, churches, community centers, etc.
