Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Mumbles Rangers - Junior Warm-up (Start Time: 2018-10-22 16:45:00)

Warm up - Part 1 (5 mins)

Organisation

Mark out 2 adjoining squares - size should be relevant to the age of the players 10ydx10yd, 12yd x 12yd or 15yd x 15yd

Put players on each corner of one of the squares - numbers to be as even as possible to ensure not too much standing around and to make split for Part 2 quicker

Similary, it helps if half have got bibs on to make split easier

What we are looking for is lots of touches and a variety of skills used so we can do:

- simple running with the ball

- passing and follow your pass

- pass, follow pass, then 1-2

- pass diagonal, run straight

Warm up - part 3 (10 mins)

Organisation

Finally, it's some form of game - either an end zone game where one of the players from each team is outside the pitch to start moves

NB Ensure you've got some mechanism to bring him into the game - after 60 seconds or someone swops with him whenever he receives a pass

OR keep all players in the field of play and score into mini goals

The key is to end with a competitive edge so players are ready for the game
