GAME PLAN

 

COACH CAV’S CRAZIES

 

  WELCOME TO THE TEEPEE !

 

WHO WE ARE

We are a group of students who want to bring a high level of enthusiasm to Venice High School’s North Gym (The Teepee) during men's basketball games.

 

HOW TO JOIN

Just come out to a game and wear a Coach Cav’s Crazies T-shirt.(Available at all home games.) Sit in the Coach Cav’s Crazies section.

 

WHAT WE DO

Members of Coach Cav’s Crazies stand in the bleachers, chant, have fun, and bring enthusiasm to all men's home basketball games.

 

RULES:

1.  BE THERE… no, you don’t have to be there two hours early, but be there for tip-off. (7:30pm all games)

2.  BE ENTHUSIASTIC. If you are going to be a Coach Cav’s Crazy then you’ve got to put it out there. The mark of a great Crazy                                     is their enthusiasm.

3.  KEEP IT CLEAN. Absolutely, NO SWEARING. There are children and older adults out there who should not have to listen to                                          any obscenities. You owe it to the non-students in the crowd to behave appropriately.        

     *Remember this is a school function and all school rules apply.

 

If you meet these three criteria, you’re doing a good job. But if you want to be great, to be in a class with the greatest of all crowds you’ll need to:

 

4.  BE CREATIVE IN A POSITIVE MANNER. To me, this is the factor that makes Coach Cav’s Crazies crowd special.

 

          Example: One of our players scores on a great play chant:  “We have (player’s name)” clap, clap, clap-clap-clap.

 

Again be observant, be creative, but most importantly, be positive. All chants within good taste.

 

OUR BASIC CHANTS:

 

     At tip-off:  all the Crazies yell "Woo!" and increases in speed, so in the final seconds before tip-off, everyone is wooing their                             heads off.  Result?  Pandemonium.


     On offense: Options: 

                                      1. "Here we go Venice, here we go” (clap, clap, clap)
                                      2.  "Let's go Venice (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)
                                      3.  "Let's go Indians” (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)


     On defense: Options

                                      1.  The classic “DEE FENSE” (clap, clap, clap)
                                      2. ohhhhhh (held for an entire possession)
                                      3.  play by play : "BOINK BOINK BOINK OHHHH PASS OHHHH PASS OHHHH  SHOT MISS!"

                   *All end with a loud cheer when the other team misses or we steal the ball.


    When we shot fouls shots: everyone holds up their hands in silence when it goes in, everyone responds: “WHOOSH!” while                                                 quickly lowering their hands.


   Other team foul shots: dead silence, then when the shooter is about to shoot scream: AHHH or MISS IT!)

                                        On a miss: Cycle arms (usually accompanied by WOO! WOO!...etc)

                    *Absolutely NO running onto the court at the end of the games. Also, DO NOT throw anything onto the floor.  

                     Both infractions will lead to disciplinary actions being taken.

 

Coach Cav’s Crazies can have a hugh impact on the success of our team, but most importantly, we want all that come to Venice High School to see what great students we have.  We also want Venice High School to be known for its great sportsmanship. So, on behalf of the Boys’ Basketball Team, we chant: THANK YOU!

 

Have fun and Go Venice Indians Basketball!
