Simple warm ups for very young players need to be just that – simple.

You need to get your players concentrating on the actual matter in hand – soccer.

Sometimes you turn up to a match late and you just need to get a bit of organization going.

Simple can often be best especially with young players. But you could also try something different to impress the opposition. The first clip here shows you the simple way to warm up, the second clip is an impressive show of team solidarity and if you can get your players into the rhythm it will look great!

I haven’t tried the clapping warm up yet because I bet it takes some doing. I’m going to try it because I think it is a great way to warm up and get team spirit going. If anyone else does it please let me know how successful you were.
