Warm-up games for youngest youth

King of the Ball
  • Mark out an area or use a circle.
  • Give everyone a ball, except for one player.
  • The player without a ball tries to take the ball from someone else.
  • If the ball is taken or goes out of the field, that player helps with taking the balls.
Red Light, Green Light with Ball
  • Place all players on one line with a ball.
  • Have one player stand on the other side and call "Red Light, Green Light".
  • The players may walk, but the ball must remain still when the caller turns around.
  • If the ball is not still, the player goes back to the start.
Musical Chairs with Ball
  • Give all players a ball.
  • Let them dribble and drive through the area with the ball.
  • Call "Yes" and let them drive as quickly as possible to a hoop or cone.
  • Start with enough hoops/cones for everyone, then remove one each time.
Look and Execute
  • Place all players with a ball on one line.
  • Let them drive with the ball while you indicate the direction by pointing.
  • They must look ahead and not only at the ball.
Ball Control
  • Give each player a ball.
  • Let them drive within a marked area with the ball.
  • Call "Yes" and let them drive straight to the other side.
  • Ensure they keep watching each other to avoid collisions.
Drive and Score
  • Create two teams and give all players a ball.
  • Let them start at the back line outside the circle.
  • On your signal, they drive with the ball along the circle's edge.
  • At the cone, they may score in the goal.
