Passing wave and sprinting football warm up drill
This football drill works on the passing ability and co-ordination of your players. They need good reactions and must listen to your explanations of how to play or they will not know what to do. So you can get their attention and keep it because they need to think about what they are doing.
I often use this warm-up drill for training evenings to get young minds fixed on what it is they came to training for... football.
- Set up an area 40 yards long by 15 yards wide.
- You will need two servers, some cones and a number of balls.
- The first coach passes to the group on his right (1). The player receiving makes a pass to the other team (2) and sprints diagonally to the cone.
- The opposite receiving player takes one touch and plays a long pass to the other coach (3) and sprints diagonally to the cone.
- The warm up drill continues until all the players are at the opposite cones.
- The second coach then restarts the drill in the other direction.
- Therefore the players move up and down in a wave motion.
