Absolutely you can prepare but not a lot in 2 weeks.  It is more like
practice over the whole season. You can talk about the core values and ask
the kids to find ways to convey them/live them outside of the team.

Team building exercises help as well. Discussions of roles, time keeping,
brainstorming, respectful communications etc, followed by team work
exercises and more discussion leads to improved teamwork with at least some
teams.
