Firstly the players are going into some rondos to have a bit fun at the beginning and to get some ball touches. Thereafter they have a player lead warm up before they come into me for a quick drill to get their feet work going and also to sharpen their brains.The players will be in line and when I shout for example "Yellow" they all have to run to yellow and back to the line. This is sharp sprints.
