huddle up

Press together tightly

Huddle up means to gather closely together, typically for warmth, protection, or private discussion.

Sports teams huddle up between plays to discuss strategy away from opponents' ears.

The phrase emphasizes the action of coming together: Huddle up, everyone—I have an announcement.

Outside athletics, it often signals an impromptu meeting or quick conference.
