Dynamic Warm Up is the best way to enhance motor control and joint stability. It also gets them moving around and having some fun with it. If you would like a free copy of our Dynamic Warm Up let me know and I can send your way!

Thanks,

In addition to dynamic warm-ups, and playing catch, we use "ring of fire" for hitting.

I coach my daughters 6-7U rec team full time, moving to 8U semi tb this winter. I have/had some of the greatest parents of all time. After the dynamic warm-up, I break the team up into 3 stages...1) throwing 2) front toss (5-8 swings) 3) side toss into a net (10 swings). I get the parents involved chasing down balls, keeping girls in order, moving them to the next station etc... Great help. Our coaches were able to coach the stations. After that we make two quick lines for grounders and catching. Get the parents involved and keeping them involved will go a long way. We had this down to 30 minute warm-ups.

When they are young pregames are the best way to "steal" an extra practice. That's the way I always looked at it. 8U may be more rec ball, where you'll have to reinforce some basic skills so kids have success and don't get hurt in games. But once you reach travel I would use the time to really burn in necessary skills. Kids don't really need a "warmup" to play a game. Especially a game where after they warmup there's a chance they'll spend a bunch of time sitting on a bunch or standing waiting to get in or make a play.
