Circle Warm up
Divide the group in half and have half the players create a circle. These players should each have a ball and the other half of the players inside the circle without a ball. When the coach says go, players on the inside run to a player on the outside and receive a pass and touch it back (total of 2 touches). They then run to another player on the outside and do the same. After 45 seconds, switch the group on the outside with the group on the inside.
