Across The Field

Across the field is a classic partner warm-up designed to help players work on basic soccer skills.

Set Up

Have players partner up and line up on one of the sidelines. Each pair needs a soccer ball.

How It Works

Players go down to the other sideline and back while they pass, head, or perform volleys back and forth. One player back pedals while the other player faces forward. 

Coaching Points

This is not a race. Make sure players are getting quality touches on the ball and keeping it under control.
