Pre match warm up U7-U10

Paul Goodwin

Hi all,

I am just wondering what everyone does when warming up their players prior to matches. I coach U7s and U8s and always just focussed on warming up by moving around with the ball and almost continuing what we had been working on in training previously, I do however see a few teams jogging widths of pitches in lines, doing sprints and the usual twisting and jumping movements you might expect to see before a premier league game.

Interested in thoughts for these age groups.

Thanks.

    I feel at this age. Plenty of Ball play is required for there development. try and make the warm up into like small games, 4 v 4 dribbling to end zones, play SSG's make the pre game just like your arrival activities for training nights. making the warm up into what the real game is like will help with confidence. body development at this age is they dont need much to get the bodies heart, muscle and breathing rates up, children run around all the time so using a ball is vital, tactical knowledge is less of an importance so ball play between each other is good for social skills and team bonding
