One of the problems soccer coaches often complain about is the difficulties they have getting players to warm up for matches properly. In a lot of cases players just stand around the penalty area firing shots at the goalkeeper. Shooting in this way is not warming up because most players just stand in the area and try to kick the ball. They’re not moving and they’re not thinking. Take them away from the goalmouth and set up a soccer warm up drill such as this one. They will be passing, receiving and controlling the ball while listening out for you to call their number.
