Warm Ups

I have taken this warm up from the D License Course Notes December, 2006


Organization

20 x 20 box, 6 people all with ball, 3 lives
Lose life if ball out of bounds, or it hits another ball

Progressions – more players in a smaller space, and then fewer lives
• Try not to look at ball, but be looking at space
• Play, stop and stretch, play, stop and stretch
• Don’t play blind – Look, Turn, Look Again

14 – 15 players in 20 x 20 space Run to space without a ball
Progression: 2 are it, tag as many players as possible in 30 seconds

4 v 2 Start with 3 groups of 2 (need 3 sets of pinny colors)
2 in the middle get out of middle by taking away/intercepting/forcing Out of Bounds
Team that makes 3rd turnover goes into the middle
Emphasize talking and communication
Ought to be able to string together 20 – 25 passes
Progressions – 2 keepers in the middle who can dive, use hands
Next progression – don’t let ball stop, that’ll lose possession
