About warm-up drills
The best grassroots warm-ups don't look like warm-ups — they look like games. A coach who lines players up to do dynamic stretches at U9 has lost the room before the session has started. The drills below are tested with mixed-ability groups, work with whatever number turns up, and most can be set up in under a minute.
?FAQ
What makes a good grassroots warm-up?
One that activates the body, primes decision-making, and accommodates late arrivals without breaking flow — not a line of players doing dynamic stretches, which loses the room before the session has even started.
How long do these warm-up drills take to set up?
Most set up in under 60 seconds, which matters for grassroots sessions where players arrive at different times.
