alleyoop

It looks like a straightforward transliteration of this to me.
It was used a lot when doing physical activity such as acrobatics, also used a lot with children. and it fits what you say.
it comes from the French 'Allez' - to go and a supposed French pronunciation of the English word 'UP'
Note from asker:
Thank you, Steve. Would this ever be appropriate in a military context...when an officer is training new recruits, for example?
