Traffic lights
Every player dribbles freely and reacts to the coach's colour calls: green go, amber slow, red stop the ball. A classic warm-up for young players.
See the drill โThrough the gates
Players dribble through as many cone gates as they can in 30 seconds. It's fast, competitive and full of turns.
See the drill โFootball movement warm-up
A quick sequence of skips, side-steps, high knees, backwards running and short sprints across lanes. Gets bodies ready to play and builds good movement habits.
See the drill โRob the nest
Teams race to dribble balls from the centre back to their nest, then steal from other nests. Chaotic, fun and full of dribbling, scanning and decision-making.
See the drill โBib tails tag
Everyone tucks a bib into their shorts as a tail and tries to grab others' tails while protecting their own. Agility, scanning and lots of laughs. Add a ball when they're ready.
See the drill โPairs passing on the move
Pairs pass to each other while moving around a busy area, avoiding other pairs. A ball-based warm-up that builds touch, scanning and communication from the first minute.
