Team soccer
prepared by David T. Porter, Ed.D., USPTA Master Professional

 

Type: Singles Category: Warm-up and stretching

Levels: All Time/players: 10 minutes

Description and goals:

Using a tennis ball, players split up teams and play soccer to warm up before a match. Use one or two balls based on number of players.

Organization:

Use one side of the court and set up temporary goals with cones, tennis bags or whatever is handy and play soccer. No goalies.

Key points:

A fun way to get warmed up if there is a shortage of courts to hit on or a fun way to switch up warm-up exercises.
