Hi, this is one warm up drill you could use before a match. There are lots more warm up drills, small sided games and soccer coaching articles on the same website http://www.bettersoccercoaching.com The info on the website is free to download and most of the drills are accompanied by clear illustrations and explanations. Hope this helps.
Pre match soccer warm up drill
One way of getting your players into the right frame of mind for a match is to use good warm-up drills. If you are all in a big circle you can also talk to your players and remind them about their responsibilties towards the team, the opposition and the officials.
I like to get my players around me and call out to them what they have to do in the circle for this soccer warm-up drill. I tend to use this time to talk to them about the game as well. It builds great team spirit.
Set up the drill
Mark out a circle in cones that each of your players will stand behind - not too big a circle, you want each player about five yards from the centre where you stand.
The players have to react to your call in this warm up drill:
Go left – players side step continuously to the left.
Go right – players side step continuously to the right.
Two left or one right – players move one or two cones to the side called.
Middle – players run into the coach and jockey backwards out.
Go – the players sprint across the area and switch places with the player opposite.
