Bird on a Fence


Exercise Objectives:
This is a fun warm up that focuses on vision and awareness.
 
Field Preparation
   Entire Group
   30 x 30 Yards
 
Coaching Pointers:
Have players jog around area 30 x 30 yards. Players alternate stretching and jogging every 60 seconds. While the players jog, heads must be up scanning the whole field, glancing behind them, looking far and near.

On coaches command:

Players must shout out the color of "John's socks", make of Tom's boots etc. (forces players to scan all players quickly).
Players heads should be like that of a "bird on a fence" always glancing and checking behind.
