Curious how many of you do dynamic warm ups as a team or in position groups?
We spend 10-15 mins of practice (2-3 practices/week) doing dynamic warm ups as a team and I'm starting to wonder if there isn't a better method that allows players to get warm WHILE working in their positional indy periods so that we're not wasting that 15 mins at the start of practice and can use it more efficiently.
Happy to hear thoughts on this.
Thx!

Warm-up by position groups. There's less talking and you can spend that time talking to your position group.

We started doing position warmups this past season and really like it. As an OL coach we did a few real quick dynamic stretches...took us no more than 5m than jumped into Indy.
During camp I'd also have a few light agility drills in there, things to work shuffles, pulls too. So we were moving and raising our core temp and doing specific.

During Pre-Season ('Two-a-days') practice we usually did Warm-Up as a team in the morning.
Just for variety we would occasionally do them by position AND I was also known to mix them up once in awhile, i.e. OL did warm-up with WRs coach, RBs with OL coach, WRs with RBs coach.
Before the afternoon practice we did some kind of defensive drill - Pursuit, Interception, Scoop 'n Score, Block That Kick for example.
In-Season we did Warm-up as team on Mondays and Thursdays (part of Pre-Game Routine).
On Tuesday our Warm-up was we ran our opponents' Gadget plays against our 1st and 2nd defenses.
On Wednesdays Warm-up was "TTO" (Team Take-off) Drill - Clap Drill, then Lead Option against the Seven-man sled.

Position groups. I combine dynamic warm up and EDD's with mine. Makes our Indy time my smoother.

Really like this idea. One of the things that I find difficult as a position coach is forming relationships with the other position groups. Even just knowing names/faces. |

Position groups. I combine dynamic warm up and EDD's with mine. Makes our Indy time my smoother. Sure. I work with the defensive backs. We get 5 min for group stretch. 1) 5 lines. DB face left. On visual cue from me, shuffle back. On second visual cue, break up (run) or bail (deep vertical) 2) Same as #1 but DB face right 3) 5 line. DB square to LOS. On visual cue from me, backpedal to gain depth. They weave in their backpedal as I simulate a QB rolling in the pocket. On second visual cue, break up (run fit) or bail (deep vertical) 4) Same as #3. 2nd rep 5) Our "M" drill. I use cones that go at 45 degree angles every 5 yd completing a capital letter "M". I'll just tell you what I have them do between the different points on the "M". My corners will shuffle and my safeties will backpedal. Point 1-2 ==> Focus on gaining depth Point 2-3 ==> Break @ cone #3. Drive through cone #3. Coach will throw a tennis ball that the DB must intercept. Point 3-4 ==> Same as between 1&2. . . gain depth Point 4-5 ==> Break @ Cone #5. There is an agility dummy they must "Gator/ Hawk" tackle (in pregame, we wrap up and form fit a "Hang Clean" type tackle We go through the "M" again the other direction. Same as before except that at Point 5, we do a scoop/ score. If there is any time after, we have safeties do angle tackle in 4 lines then wall/ carry a WR vertical for 15-20 yd Corners will work "Catch Man" and breaking slants and carrying verticals. |

natenator , no problem Here is generally what we did. I will say though it wasn't etched in stone. My thought was that most of my guys didn't move fast enough to pull anything anyway so as long as their core temp was up we we're probably ok. 1. Russians (swing leg in front up high to stretch hamstring) 2. Quad Pulls 3. Walking Lunges - sometimes with a twist too 3. Sumo Squats (basically deep squats to stretch the groins) 4. 50-75% jogs 5. 90-100% burst Then I'd give them 1-2m to static whatever they wanted to I will add that we had probably already completed a 5-10m pre-practice routine as well before this. Lots of time that was either scheme review or pass pro work.

how are you supposed to come together as one united for common cause if you don't spell out your mascot in unison while doing jumping jacks?

I suspect you're being facetious here.
And Jumping Jacks are probably one of the least useful exercises one can use.
Early in my head coaching career I didn't care if we did any kind of chants, cheers, etc.
In fact one of best teams I ever had went about their business in Pre-Game without any noise, chuckled at opponents who did.
But once the ball was in the air - boy, you could hear them.
However, more recently I have become to believe that "forcing" some enthusiasm as a Team has some value.

By position group, all dynamic stretches and it takes less than five minutes to complete.

How so? If you don't mind me asking....do you feel like forcing it a little can help bring it out of them? kind of a "fake it till you make it" mentality? always been curious about people's take on this |

Yes, guess you could define it that way.
Had to tell myself on way out to practice a few times, usually around mid- to late season - "If you don't feel enthusiastic, act enthusiastic. You might fool yourself and BECOME enthusiastic!"
As Emerson wrote, "Nothing is accomplished without enthusiasm."

I feel that warm ups are the most over rated thing in all of sports. Except for QB warming up arm and kickers kicking... everyone else could warm up just fine in 2 minutes... I agree with BLB somewhat. Kids today were not raised to be self starters and self motivators... they were raised as follow the crowd mentality so forced enthusiasm has a place now imho.

to the forced enthusiasm point... couldn't you get that enthusiasm and motivation going from your position group as opposed to the entire team or do you guys think it needs to be for the whole team to start them off right?

Probably.
I just felt it was beneficial to do something together as a Team at beginning of practice.
After Specialties I would bring 'em all up for "Team Comment" which began with 15-second clap and breakdown. Then I would give them "Quote for the Day" and break on a single clap before going off to Warm-up period, whatever it might be.

Some may not be able to be there at the beginning of every practice. |

We do team warm ups. Not all my coaches can always make the start of practice.
I love jumping jacks as a warm up exercise, but I cannot stand trying to get 40+ teenagers to do them in sync. So we do them, but it's the most chaotic, disorganized looking thing, and I don't care. I just go around making sure they are doing them right.
