Remember to setup your session well in advance so that you are completely in control when you are put in charge and don’t have to make players wait while you setup the drill. Try to explain the drill clearly and demonstrate if necessary. Don’t be afraid to ask for/pick volunteers to demonstrate aspects of the drill to the group. If necessary, correct players on their technique either with a quick word in their ear or if many players are showing the same failure of technique then briefly stop the drill, explain and correct the technique and then restart the drill.

Remember to include all aspects of a warm up. Running, stretching etc. Include stretches for the

lower legs, upper legs, arms and ankles. Give rough estimates of how long each activity will take ie arm stretches – 30 seconds, jogging for 2 minutes, sprinting for 30 seconds etc If you need any equipment such as balls or cones, list what equipment your warm up session would require.
