You carry out this warming-up in two lines, for example from one side to the other side of the field or around it.
Execution:
Players walk at a jogging pace and a few feet away from the player in front of them.
The coach or a player is leading this warm-up by calling out instructions.
Example: Walk from sideline to sideline, the captain leads the warming-up.
He/she shouts e.g. jump, left or right hand on the ground. Another possibility is that the captain calls out “back to feed†and at “go†the two back players sprint forward.
Quality:
It is a joint, team warm-up. All players keep the same pace.
Progression:
Back to front, the back players run forward
Front to back, the front players sprint forward five meters, then walk backwards and join the back of the line.
Have the players run five metres apart. The back player sprints forward slalomming through the other players, or the front player turns around and sprints backwards slalomming.
Use this as a conditioning exercise towards the end of a football training session, you can do it for up to 10 minutes.
You can add all kinds of movements to this exercise. Experiment!
