Every player is given a ball in a space and they will start just moving around the area with the ball. After a minute i will shout any number between 1 and 4. Firstly if I shout 1 each player will have to turn around with the ball. 2 means they will all stop on the spot and place their foot on the ball. 3 means that the players will swap their balls with someone else and finally when i shout 4 each player will run to a cone and place their ball on it. the last three to do this will be the three in the middle for the next drill. The reason I chose this warm up is because it gets all the players used to the feel of the ball and to get them switched on by reacting to a call.
