Suitable for the following techniques: condition warming-up
Passing in numerical order warm-up
- For this warm up, set out an area of 30 by 40 yards.
- Give each player a number.
Execution:
Players pass in numerical order: # 1 to # 2 to # 3 etc. as they move through the plotted area.
Quality:
- Use 2-3 balls to increase speed and awareness.
- Make sure players are moving through the entire area and not just staying close to the players they are supposed to pass to.
- Players should all ask for the ball when it is their turn and call out the name of the player they are going to play in themselves.
Advancement:
- Have players perform special actions when making a pass, for example:
- Play the ball in the run. The receiving player must accelerate.
- The odd numbers may only hit once, the even numbers 2 times. Alternate this.
