Fun warm-ups for under 12s
I have always coached players between the age of 17-21 , but now I coach a set of U-12s and it hasn't taken much time to realize that it is altogether a different ball game . I have noticed motive related fun activity during warm-up looks good on paper but I don't see my kids having fun , which is most primary part during warm ups for kids . if anyone could suggest me with a few fun related warm ups it would be of great help .
Hi Karan,
It`s important to keep your young players developing key skills in football, but you need to also keep them engaged and enjoying themselves!
One fun warm-up could be to include a race - by doing this, you`re encouraging some healthy competition but also focusing on a particular skill for your players to improve on. I`ve included one example below for you, and please do take a look through our other football drills for more ideas.
So in this example, your players will be developing dribbling, as well as their co-ordination and balance. By making it a race, get your players to encourage their team-mates to beat the opposition team!
Hope that helps!
