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.
