Summary

Warm-up without the ball

Organization

The ten players arrange themselves freely within one half of the field.

Description

  • Players move freely around the half-court space, warming up autonomously for 3 minutes by performing gaits and low-intensity joint mobility exercises
  • Some suggested exercises are:
    • upper limb circles forward and backward
    • upper limb thrusts
    • torsions and tilts of the upper body
    • sideways running
    • running sideways while crossing legs
    • skip
    • running kickbacks
    • lower limb openings, closings, and thrusts with both flexed knee and outstretched leg

Coaching Points

  • Ask players to perform the various warm-up drills in an extensive and controlled manner
  • Stimulate players, in the final phase of the drill, to vary their working angles as much as possible during changes of direction
