Hi Shaytana,
To get your players warm and ready to play you should look at using fun warm up games alongside some dynamic stretches. This could include lunges, opening and closing the hips, side stepping, etc.
A drill to get players used to running onto the ball, catching and passing accurately is the one below.
You can also use the drill categories on the side of page to find relevant drills for each session.
I hope this helpful!

Simple run through with progressions
DESCRIPTION
Set up: One ball, 5+ players. Set up two lines of players facing each other with one passer in the middle. Ball starts with front player in line. Player delivers a pass to the stationary passer, receives it back in the middle and passes in front to opposing line. Player then joins back of the line. Progression 1: Add in change of movement Keep the same set up. Instead of driving straight through. Players now drive out (away from stationary passer) and then change direction to drive towards passer and receive a straight pass. Ball then gets passed to opposing line, as before and player joins that line. Progression 2: Add light defence Keep set up the same with the change indirection. Add in a defensive player to disrupt the area. Progression 3: Increase defence Add in another defender of get the original defender to become more âactiveâ.
