WHAT IS THE 11+ WARM UP

Football field

The programme was designed by a panel of international experts in conjunction with FIFA, specifically to reduce the risk of injury in football. It has been developed to work as a warm-up and to be delivered by team coaches. It has been scientifically validated, and has been proven to reduce the risk of all injury by 30%, and severe and debilitating injuries by 50%.

  • Part one of the programme involves some slow speed running, dynamic active stretching and some controlled partner contacts.
  • Part two involves a number of exercises to improve core and leg strength, plyometrics and balance. There are three levels of difficulty for these exercises. These exercises are only done on training days, not game days.
  • Part three involves further running & agility exercises. These are done at a higher level of intensity and involve changes of direction.

The enhancing performance and injury prevention benefits are seen when the programme is done twice a week at trainings and once a week prior to matches (or more).

We also have 11+ Kids, designed as a separate warm up for kids which involves 7 fun exercises each with 5 levels of difficulty for progression.
