Suggested Warm Up
Warm up as a group—that does not mean going through these actions in unison, remember a 28 year old warms up differently and likely faster than a 51 year old.
Pick an end of the field or an open area not interfering with the players’ warm up. The warm-up should take 5-10 minutes.
1) Stretch: Static stretching and dynamic stretching including such things as pulling knees up, touch toes (with toes pointed up), pull foot behind back (quad stretch)
2) Start with a jog with increasing pace up to multiple levels of sprinting. Get your heart rate up so you are ready to go at the opening whistle.
3) Lateral movement—sidestepping, crossover stepping etc.
4) Change direction—forward to side to backward etc.
