Cheerleading is one of the typical representatives of
collective sports, usually 10 to 30 people in a team. It extraordinarily pays
attention to the cooperation between team members, because there are great
safety hazards when doing some difficult throwing skills. The team spirit among
members is accordingly very important. Increasing the frequency and duration in
daily training is one of the typical ways to mold team spirit, but doing some
team building activities is also a very special and useful way. Create the
exclusive memories of team members by conducting some group games and
activities regularly or irregularly, such as having dinners, holding parties,
in their spare time, or carrying out relevant folk activities on holidays. And
when one of the team-building activities becomes the tradition of the team, the
collective memory will be more institutionalized and transmitted to the new
members. This will also better help them integrate into the team. Use these
memories to shape the recognition of the team and make the team more cohesive.
Therefore, by using the theory of "collective memory", this paper
analyses and discusses the shaping and impact of team building activities in
the collective sports represented by cheerleading.
