   The Perfect Walking Football Warm-Up (Part 2: Exercises 6–10)

   This episode is based on the book Coaching Walking Football by Chris King — available now on Amazon in paperback or ebook: 👉 https://mybook.to/walkingfootballbook (https://mybook.to/walkingfootballbook) In this episode, we continue our Walking Football–specific warm-up sequence and break down exercises 6 to 10 — all designed to prepare players safely and effectively without high impact or running. We cover: A controlled activation drill to wake up hamstrings and glutes. A balance-friendly lift-and-step movement that opens hips and engages the core. A great whole-body drill that mobilises hips, groins, shoulders, and thoracic rotation. A fun, social, football-specific exercise that gets players passing, thinking, moving, and working together at walking pace. We also explain why rondos are so useful — improving movement, decision-making, defending, and confidence — and mention where to find deeper Rondo material in the Soccer Rondos book series. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a complete, safe, enjoyable warm-up routine perfectly suited for older Walking Football players. 👉 Grab the full book, Coaching Walking Football, on Amazon: https://mybook.to/walkingfootballbook (https://mybook.to/walkingfootballbook) 6.

    WALKING FOOTBALL DRILL - "WALL BALL" | 2 PLAYERS | Soccer/Football Coaching | Focus On: Passing

    WALKING FOOTBALL DRILL - "WALL BALL" | 2 PLAYERS | Soccer/Football Coaching | Focus On: Passing 📖 𝗕𝘂𝘆 "Walking Football Volume 1" 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁: ⭐𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺/𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿/𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 ⭐𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵.𝗰𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗨𝗣 Mark an area out directly from the wall (I find a 10x10 yard or 15x15 yard square is a good size). Players take it in turns passing/kicking the ball into the wall. It can either be played along the ground or slightly in the air. It is similar to the racquet game Squash. The players’ aim is to make the ball rebound off the wall, then land or pass through the marked square and go outside the square before the opponent can control it. If it leaves the area before the opposition player can control it the player who kicked it receives one point. Play the first to 5 points and play 3 sets. Who is the best wall baller in the team?! Depending on skill levels, play as many touches as you want. If they are skillful players you may only allow them to have one touch (ie play the ball first time). If they are beginners they can have three touches (ie one touch to control the ball, the second to put the ball where they want and the third to make the pass/kick. 𝗩𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 ⚽ Change the number of touches. Less touches for more skilled players. Unlimited touches for novices. ⚽Play it so the ball is in the air and the opponent must play the ball before a certain number of bounces (like tennis). For example, kick the ball against the wall (Wall Ball) or into the opponent's half (Box Ball) and if the ball bounces more than once or twice the ball is dead and the player that kicked it gets a point. ⚽Play doubles! (ie with partners 2v2). 📖 𝗕𝘂𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝘁: ⭐𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺/𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿/𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 ⭐𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵.𝗰𝗼𝗺 Website: www.chriskingsoccercoach.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/chriskingsoccercoach #walkingfootball (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/walkingfootball) #womenswalkingfootball (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/womenswalkingfootball) #walkingsoccer (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/walkingsoccer) #allabilities (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/allabilities) #southendfc (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/southendfc) #essex (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/essex) #fastestgrowingsport (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/fastestgrowingsport) #relivingyouryouth (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/relivingyouryouth) #weplayfootball (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/weplayfootball) #thewfa (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/thewfa) #womenswfc (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/womenswfc) #wwf (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/wwf)

It is similar to tennis. Instead of in Wall Ball where the players aim is to rebound it off the wall, players simply aim to pass the ball, landing it in the opponent's half and they win the point if the ball goes out of the opponents half before they can control it (or before a set number of bounces if you are playing it in the air). 𝗩𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 ⚽ As mentioned in Wall Ball, change the number of touches. Less touches for more skilled players.

    WALKING FOOTBALL DRILL - "ATTACKING & DEFENSIVE DUTIES" | Soccer/Football Coaching |

    WALKING FOOTBALL DRILL - "ATTACKING & DEFENSIVE DUTIES" | 4 TO 12 PLAYERS | Soccer/Football Coaching | 📖 𝗕𝘂𝘆 "Walking Football Volume 1" 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸/eBook 𝗮𝘁: ⭐𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺/𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿/𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 ⭐𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵.𝗰𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗨𝗣 PLAYERS: 6 to 14 players Set up a game and pair the players up with a player from the opposite team. They are now responsible for ‘man marking’ this player. This simply means if their player gets the ball they are responsible to try and stop them from passing/shooting/dribbling. This drill helps improve both defensive and attacking skills and reading of the play. Plus transitioning from defence to attack and attack to defence. One second your team may have the ball so you should spread out and look to attack or receive the ball. But then if your team loses possession you must find your player and work on your defensive duties. Things to work on when defending are: Positioning yourself close to the player so you can intercept a pass or stop them from passing; position yourself between the opposition player and your goal (this way there is no easy way towards goal for them); reading where the pass is likely to come from (is there a free opposition player that is likely to get the ball?) and trying to intercept the pass. Things to work on when attacking are: Can you ‘lose’ your defender? This may mean that you get on their blind side (off their shoulder) so you can steal a step or two head start on them whichever direction you choose to go; do a shoulder drop or fake step to send your defender in the wrong direction to steal a yard or two; point to where you want the ball passed to so your teammate knows where to pass it to (this may be to your back foot so you can play forward quickly). 𝗩𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 ⚽ Have the ‘best’ players marking each other so it is competitive. But also switch it up and have more experienced players against less experienced players so that the less experienced players learn from them. ⚽Have small punishments for the defender if the player they are marking scores a goal or sets up a goal (ie 5 lunges, 10 toe taps, etc). 📖 𝗕𝘂𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝘁: ⭐𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺/𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿/𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 ⭐𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵.𝗰𝗼𝗺 Email: chriskingsoccercoach@gmail.com Website: www.chriskingsoccercoach.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/chriskingsoccercoach #walkingfootball (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/walkingfootball) #womenswalkingfootball (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/womenswalkingfootball) #walkingsoccer (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/walkingsoccer) #allabilities (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/allabilities) #southendfc (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/southendfc) #essex (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/essex) #fastestgrowingsport (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/fastestgrowingsport) #relivingyouryouth (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/relivingyouryouth) #weplayfootball (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/weplayfootball) #thewfa (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/thewfa) #womenswfc (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/womenswfc) #wwf (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/wwf)

    WALKING FOOTBALL DRILL - "RONDO" | Soccer/Football Coaching | Dribbling

    WALKING FOOTBALL DRILL - "RONDO" | Soccer/Football Coaching | Dribbling Walking Football Volume 1 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 available on Amazon: ⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3uLC4J3⁠ (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXVvOHFNV29zWVpsMkJJbkU4MFRmNzduNnhZZ3xBQ3Jtc0trdFVidHZ3bXlfdEhITmUtTHY2Q3F1QXFWdUozWHN1YWxZbU9hcDhGMDNGNE1pVy1QV29DY3dOZndYUTlrM2FHX3NCb1pfU0ZWLU5JeE9hU0VCX0tSZUpZUEFzZUh0dzM4bFFjTWM3WExQeEtxOUdBbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F48Jywpd&v=wPZeQz30YCs) PLAYERS: 6 to 10 players Rondos are fantastic! A rondo is simply a small square or circle where the majority of players are trying to keep the ball off one or two players (like the old schoolyard game piggy in the middle). For example, you could set up a circle with 6 players around the outside and two players inside the circle. The players around the outside are trying to pass the ball to their teammates while the two defenders in the middle are trying to intercept or block the pass. Note: Players on the outside aren’t allowed inside the circle. If a defender successfully intercepts or blocks a pass they swap with the player that made the mistake. Rondos work on passing, defending, communicating, movement, ball control, body shape, thinking ahead…so many things in such a small space and amount of time. A rondo is my go to drill when I want to get my players motivated and moving. It can be used as the first drill of a training session or as a warm up just before a game. Variations: 1. If you have 5 players play 4v1 in a square. If you have 6 players play 5v1 in a circle. 7 players and up, play two defenders in the middle. Make sure that when you have two players in the middle, the player that has been in the longest goes out when the ball is intercepted even if they aren’t the player that won the ball. This encourages teamwork and shows that you should work just as hard for your teammate as you would for yourself. 2. Defenders in the middle can either rotate out: each time they win the ball; or every 3 times they win the ball swap with new players: or keep the defenders in for a set amount of time (ie 1 minute) and then swap them out (see which defender/s can win the ball the most times).

    WALKING FOOTBALL DRILL - "GATES" | Soccer/Football Coaching | Dribbling Walking Football Volume 1 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 available on Amazon: ⁠https://amzn.to/3uLC4J3 (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXVvOHFNV29zWVpsMkJJbkU4MFRmNzduNnhZZ3xBQ3Jtc0trdFVidHZ3bXlfdEhITmUtTHY2Q3F1QXFWdUozWHN1YWxZbU9hcDhGMDNGNE1pVy1QV29DY3dOZndYUTlrM2FHX3NCb1pfU0ZWLU5JeE9hU0VCX0tSZUpZUEFzZUh0dzM4bFFjTWM3WExQeEtxOUdBbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F48Jywpd&v=wPZeQz30YCs) PLAYERS: 4 to 20 players Set up a large area (the more players the larger the area). Place gates randomly throughout the area (gates should be approx 2 yards wide). Players have a ball each and aim to dribble through as many gates as they can in a set amount of time (ie 1 minute). In the next round, see if they can beat their best effort. This game is great for improving players skills and is very versatile. Players must control the ball while there is a lot of ‘traffic’ around and try not to bump into other players. Players can focus on a particular skill (ie when you pass through a gate turn using the outside of your foot). You can get the players to work in pairs and pass the ball through the gates to each other instead of dribbling through. The options are many so use some initiative and make up whatever rules/variations you need! Variations: Call out a coloured gate and players can now only dribble through those gates. Call out a skill to perform every time they get to a gate (ie a turn with the inside or outside of the foot, 5 toe taps, etc). Players work in pairs and instead of dribbling through the gates they pass through the gate to their partner on the other side. Decrease or increase the width of the gates.
