Frequently asked questions

What should a football warm-up look like?

Progressive: start with joint mobility and easy running, continue with the ball (passing, rondos) to activate technique and finish with short explosive actions (sprints, changes of pace) that prepare the player for the intensity of training.

What warm-up should I do before a match?

About 20 minutes: running and mobility, a rondo or square passing for 6 to 8 minutes, a short small-sided game and progressive sprints right before kick-off. Goalkeepers need a specific hand and footwork warm-up.

Do kids need to warm up?

Yes, but in a playful way: tag with the ball, chasing games and short circuits work better than continuous running to keep their attention and activate coordination.
