Course reviews

Great warm up drill. Using this for my U11’s and seeing a huge improvement being fully ready when they take to the field.

These are excellent. Time efficient, simple and fulfilling all requirements of immediate pre game preparation. When arriving with school teams for mid afternoon fixtures, time is always the challenge, to ensure that players and teams are ready in short warm up windows. Some useful ideas here to address that.
