Visual Warm-Up

Pitch: Mark out an area of 20 x 20 metres with four cones. Around the centre 4 dribbling goals made of flat markers are set up, two each in the same colour and diagonally opposite each other. A pole stands in the centre.

Equipment: 4 cones, 8 flat markers in two colours for the 4 dribbling goals, 1 pole, bibs in two colours, 1 ball per player.

Players: Two teams, which are assigned to the two goal colours. Every player has a ball. The coach stands outside the playing area and calls out the colours.

• The players move with the ball in the outer part of the playing area and perform Coerver exercises that the coach or a player calls out.
• If the coach calls out one of the two colours, the players of that colour leave their balls where they are and try to win the balls of the other players.
• The other team tries to get to the pole in the centre with their balls as quickly as possible through a dribbling goal of the colour that was called.
• The inner area may only be entered through the dribbling goals of the colour that was called.
