Pre match warm up U7-U10

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.

  • When I coached that age we would start with some individual running with the ball to start with, gentle social stuff, before moving to lots of 1v1s and SSGs to get them used to the surface and focussed on the competitive side of things.

    if you want to do the running around d looking like a premier league team, just remember you d got 7 year olds… I’m sure doing that sort of warm up would be fine but I’d get them to do it with a ball at their feet. :-)
