What are your thoughts on the dynamic warmup vs. static stretching? We used to do only static stretches, but after seeing a presentation on a dynamic warmups, I have decided to dump the static stretching and switch to a dynamic warmup.
Those of you that do the same, what do you do both pre-practice and pre-game? Do you do the same warmup? And, what exercises do you do? I have a list of about 30 that I got from the clinic, and the presenter emailed me a list of 10 he recommends. How much is the right amount? I worry about tiring out their legs before the game even starts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Coach Rob

Coach,
I believe its in the strength board, but this has been discussed in great detail by some outstanding coaches on this board . Do a search and I think you will find your answers.

Dynamic warmup is great before activity. We usually do a 12 min dynamic before workouts and practices. Pregame we perform a 10 min version, shortened becuase of the warmup drills that follow.
To be really effective, introduce it in the offseason, getting your players in the habit of doing this prior to any activity (workouts, running, practice, pickup basketball games...)
I wouldn't worry about getting them tired...If they are that out-of-shape, you're in more trouble than you think!
Here's a standard warmup including the muscles affected; each exercise is 20yds unless noted:
1 High Knees - hips/quads 2 Butt Kicks - hips quads 3 Punters (Tinman) - hamstrings/glutes/hips 4 Walking Lunge (Prisoner Walk)- hip flexors/quads 5 High Knee Carioca R/L -Hip ROM, calves 6 Walking Groin Stretch 10yds & switch direction - groin/hamstrings 7 Inchworm 10yds + Falling start 10yds - Hamstrings/Abs 8 Spiderman Walk 10yds + Butterfly groin stretch +jog 10yds- Hip/Glute/Groin/Hams 9 A Skip Right Leg 10 A Skip Left Leg
For gameday, we skip the A skip L/R and Spiderman Walk- saves us about 2-3 minutes. Hope this helps

We switched to a dynamic warmup about 5 years ago and our pulled quads/hammy's stopped cold. We do a basic warmup of about 8 exercises both pre-practice and pre-game.
