WHAT SHOULD A WARM-UP LOOK LIKE?


It must be all about the children




  • and correspond to the objectives of the training.

It must be special




  • with the ball 


  • spending time with the ball and the number of touches is the basis of skill development


  • teaching without-the-ball moves.

Developing awareness in the players




  • children should also know what and why they practise 


  • explanation and error correction play an important role when executing tasks.

Variation




  • repetitive and mechanical exercises lead to boredom and indiscipline

Well planned and organized



  • the coach has to plan not only the main parts and objectives of the training, but the warm-up as well

  • the coach should deviate from what was planned if conditions change (e.g. weather, number, field conditions etc.)

Gradual



  • two principles have to govern


    • from simple to complicated (preciseness)

    • from low to high intensity (speed)

Regular



  • so that it becomes a habit 

  • the coach should trigger the players to prepare alone, without any command

Continuous



  • it should set out from the nature of football

  • should be characterized by small pauses, rhythm characteristic of the game, tasks based on each other
