Hi my name is Guillermo Gomez and I coach youth soccer and today I am going to talk about a warm up for young players. So you can either decide to actually do a game for them. You can do a fun game with a soccer ball or without a soccer ball. The idea is to have the players move all parts of their body so they get ready for the session and also to catch their attention. Sometimes the players are a little bit distracted and tend to not concentrate on what you are telling them so fun games as a warm up you can get the boys ready for the season. You can also do another type of warm up in which you basically set up cones in a straight line. They are nice because they really work different areas of the body, the groins, the hamstrings, the quads, everything so it gets the blood pumping throughout their system and so it gets them ready to start playing the game of soccer so you can do five cones and then have the boys go forwards and then backwards a number of times. You can have them to skip sideways. You can also have the players cross their legs sideways and just get them all warmed up so they can be ready to play the game.
