Why stretching? In my opinion stretching is contra productive in a warming-up.

Rob AltyCoach, England

Stretching increases the elasticity of the ligaments, meaning after stretching routines have been carried ou correctly there should be less resistance or increased flexibility. Therefore when lunging or stretching for loose balls there is less risk of injury

I assume the pre stretching is dynamic as opposed to static?

sandeep sangwanCoach, India

@Claire Hancock, u r right Pre match stretching must not b static but dynamic otherwise static stretching may slower ur body.

Rob AltyCoach, England

There is nothing wrong with starting with static and moving to dynamic. Also I am not aware of any research out there that suggestd static is any less effective than dynamic. It could be argued that dynamic improves the players mind set and is a pyschological benefit.
