1.) Pulse raiser- jogging around the whole pitch
2.) Mobility- arm circling for shoulders, skipping for ankles and knees, lateral flexion and rotation for the core and pelvis swivels for the hips
3.) Stretching- high knees to stretch hamstrings, heel flicks to stretch quadriceps, side-steps to stretch groins, walking lunges with a twist to stretch hip flexors, upper and middle back and activate core rotation and inchworm to stretch upper back
4.) Dynamic movements- shuttle runs from the baseline to the 25m line
5.) Skill rehearsal - hockey netball
5. Players each have their allocated areas in which they can go in and aren't allowed in- exactly the same as netball (most play netball so will know positions anyway). This will mean 2 are on the side, they should roll on throughout the small game. Play for 2-3 minutes at a high intensity so players should constantly moving around.
