Game day warm up provided – scrimmage session (no rotation)
Due to Halloween on 10/31, we will cancel the 5.15-6pm session for that evening only.
Warm-Ups:
Musical balls (# 66) - Time: 5 minutes
Each player has a ball coned-off area. On command, all players must leave their ball and find a new ball to dribble. The last player to get a ball should then have the ball removed. Remove up to four balls so that players will work quicker to get to a loose ball. Add the balls back in towards the end.
Technical objective
Develop the ability to identify and sprint to a loose ball. Lifting the head at every opportunity
Ball stretching (# 4) - Time: 5 minutes
Players stand with their legs apart. Roll the ball with their hands through their legs eight times in a figure of eight. Next, have the player’s place one leg forward and one leg back. Roll the ball around the front foot ten times and then switch feet.
Technical objective
Prepare players’ for practice. (Safety note: it is important to have your players move first before stretching. Stretching should also be slow and static)
Notes
After warm up, each team will have two scrimmages in the allotted time, before dark. If there is an odd team, that team will scrimmage amongst themselves while waiting to play.
