The 11+ Kids
The 11+ Kids warm-up is designed to be fun and effective for younger players to learn to move well and build upon their fundamental movement patterns for sport. The 7 Exercises should be carried out in order and progressed relative to the age and ability of the group, once individuals are capable of efficiently and accurately performing the movement over several different trainings, it is time to move to the next level of difficulty.
Set Up
One ball per player is needed. Depending on the ability, age and size of the team, the amount of space required can range from the size of the penalty area to half of a pitch. The coach should be standing in a position so all players can see and hear them clearly.
Levels
In each exercise group, there are 5 activities of increasing difficulty. Coaches should only move players onto the next difficulty level when they have correctly performed the exercise in several successive trainings and when the coach only needs to make a few or no corrections. The time before the next level is reached can vary greatly from player to player and from exercise to exercise. The levels should be completed in their correct order and should not be skipped. It is highly possible for a player to be at level 1 in one exercise and at level 3 in another.
