For this fun and interactive football warming up you let the players make a circle around you, about 15 metres away from you. You stand in the middle of the circle.
Execution:
The starting point of the players is their spot in the circle, they stay “jogging†on their spot.
Call: “Inside†and all players sprint towards you up to a meter or two away from you. Then they turn around and quickly sprint back to their spot keeping moving.
Call out “outside†and all players sprint away from you until you call out “backâ€, then everyone returns to their starting position in the circle.
Quality:
Make sure players are not standing on their flat feet, but always on their toes.
Players should sweat profusely after this drill.
Progression:
You can add different variations: sit-ups, push-ups, jump up, knees up at base position, sprint to the right or left while maintaining the circle shape.
