team huddle
Players circle up
A team huddle is a brief gathering where members cluster together, typically standing in a tight circle, to strategize, coordinate, or motivate before or during an activity.
The term comes from American football, where players gather between plays to plan the next move, but has spread to any collaborative setting: The sales team had a quick huddle before the presentation.
In workplace contexts, a team huddle often means a short standing meeting to align on priorities.
