Complete is VERY small
First of all it starts in pre- practice. Anyone shows up early we are throwing 5-7 yard - "flys" at a slower than jog pace.
Our dynamics-
Team facing each other in 2 lines- 15 yards apart
5 Jumping Jacks- loud just to signify that practice is starting
Stance- high knees to the middle and back- on cadence. VERY slow and deliberate 2 times
Stance- butt kickers to middle and back- on cadence- A little faster, not much, still slow 2 times
Lunges to the middle and back
Multiple Angle Form tackle Fits on a jog- LOTS of 'mini" teams of 6 kids
After week 2 this entire routine takes us 8 minutes- 3 miutes for the top part and 5 minutes of angle form tackle fits

We don't even do a formal warmup.
On offensive days, linemen run the double wing "circle drill" to the right and the left for 10 minutes. Backs do the 2-line handoff drill and run through a human gauntlet, and TEs work the shoeshine block.
On defensive days, we do quick starts and then what we call our 2-man leverage drill, which is an awesome drill:
2------------------------------------------1
---------------------------------------A
---------------------------------------B--C
4------------------------------------------3
We have cones set up at 1,2,3,4. Player "A" is an offensive player. Players "B" and "C" are defensive players. Player "B" is the force player. It is his job to get leverage on Player "A" and force him to cut back to the inside or to make the tackle if Player "A" does not cut back. Player "C" is what we call the trailer (he's a fill player). It's his job to make the tackle if Player "A" cuts back. The objective of Player "A" is to score a TD by running through the goal line (between cones 3 and 4). We will do 2-3 reps starting from Cone 1 and then do 2-3 reps starting from Cone 2.
It's actually my favorite defensive drill because it teaches kids about angles, leverage, and run fit responsibility. Player "B" learns that he has to take an angle that will cut off Player "A". Player "C" learns that he can't overrun the play in case Player "A" cuts back to the inside.

I also personally like no dynamic, but would never get by with it in our program, it took me enough years to get rid of static stretch and cal. |

We huddle up and I'll let them know what we're going to focus on for the day.
I send them on a "together" jog, which is a somewhat short distance, slow jog, keeping everyone together. As they arrive back, they spread into 4 even numbered lines. For each of the following things we do, 1st guy goes on whistle, then 2nd, and so on. They reform the lines and come back on the successive whistles.
1. Buttkickers (20yd)
2. Lunges (10yd)
3. Backpedals (20yd)
4. Knee Hugs (10yd) <--Slow walk pulling knee to chest on each step
5. High Knees (20yd)
6. Side stepping (20yd)
7. Carioca (20yd)
They'll do a 2nd together job. As they get back, they'll circle up around me. We'll do some hitting from there, then break down into groups and work on whatever we're working on that day.

We do something similar to derekd...we get into 8-10 lines of 3 kids. I talk to them for a minute, tell them what we're gonna do that day, what the focus is, etc. then a. knee hugs, b. high knees, c. lunges, d. side shuffles, e. backpedal, f. jumping jacks (spelling out team name). Then we do a 3 point stance drill, where they get into 3 pt. stance. all the coaches check stances, on whistle they clap 3 times. then cadence clap drill 10 times. Then Bird Dog Drill. Then 3 station tackling circuit. That takes us half an hour. then we go into indies and team. We do offense one day and defense the next....

What is your Bird Dog Drill? We do a dynamic warm-up, but I'm getting some kids that even at 10-12 years old have hips so tight they can't do a squat without their heels coming off the ground so I'm adding in some things to try and work on that some. We have a group of stationary (not static) warm ups then we do the 10 yard movement stuff. |

Warm-ups are a waste of time IMO. I coach 6th grade and have for the past 7 yrs. And not one time has a kid been injured or pulled something. The only thing we do is jog down to a fence that's 50 yds away and back. Then we are starting practice. I realize that it's each coaches preference. But I've witnessed teams start at 6:00 and not be done stretching until 6:25. That just seems like a waste of time to me.
