team prayer

Collective athletic invocation

Team prayer is a prayer offered collectively by members of a sports team, work group, or other organized unit, typically before or after competition or a significant event.

In American sports, team prayers often occur in locker rooms or huddles: The coach led the team in prayer before the game.

The practice raises occasional legal questions when it occurs in public school settings.
