A Matchday Warm Up by Ray Lewington

Organisation
  • Players get in a circle.
  • Broken lines represent movement of players
  • Straight lines represent the movement of the ball.
1. Pass and follow
  • Any amount of touches.
  • Now two touches - Step in with first touch.
  • Now three touches. Step in, move the ball and then play it.

Remember knock it and follow it. Concentrate on pass and lean into it. If you need two touches take them. Pass the ball how you would like to receive. Give a name to your Pass.
