Get brains and muscles into gear with this quick warm-up for training. It works on movement, agility and vision.
Set out a 5 yard square with different coloured cones in each corner and a home cone in the middle.
> The working player starts on the home cone facing the caller (standing at position A in the diagram).> The caller calls a series of colours and the player has to respond by running to that cone, touching it and getting back to the home cone. They must face the caller at all times.> By moving the caller (say to position B in the diagram), the exercise changes the direction in which the runner is facing and thus changes their body shape.> Players can work in twos – one works in the square while the other one calls out the colours.
Work for 30 seconds and swap around. Perform three sets, gradually increasing the intensity.

Simple to set up and simple to do, but this does need accurate passing and good player movement. Good for match days when you want a quick warm up for movement and technique MORE
That old joke about a player's second touch being a tackle to try to win the ball back is not always funny. Especially if it's your players losing the ball. Watching the Premier League over the last week it is clear that a player's first touch has never been more important with fast passing and receiving the key to the best teams I have watched. MORE

This is all about keeping hold of the ball using an overload and a triangle midfield shape. Great for getting midfielders to think about their shape and where to move to receive the ball. MORE
