Two players wait with their backs to the coach; on the signal they turn and sprint to the ball the coach has played in. First to the ball attacks the mini goal, the other defends. Reaction, acceleration and a duel in one action.
Neuromuscular activation block to close the warm-up: 20 m speed build-ups, starts from different positions and reaction sprints to a visual cue from the coach.
Chasing game where everyone dribbles a ball: two taggers in bibs try to touch the others, who escape by dribbling away. The most fun way to start with young kids.
Progressive warm-up in pairs: passing combined with dynamic mobility, controls with lateral movement and a final activation with short sprints to a central cone.
