Mobility cool-down and session review

Setup

1. Mark a 20 × 20 m square with four cones.
2. Players bring their water bottles in with them.

How it runs

1. Jog easy round the square for 2 min, then walk for 1 min.
2. Mobility (3 min): walking lunges with a twist, hip circles, 90/90 hip switches on the grass.
3. Stretches (3 min): hamstrings, hip flexors, quads and calves, 30 s each side.
4. Review (3 min): pairs agree one thing that went well and one to work on, then share with the group.

Coaching points

• Breathe slowly to bring the heart rate down.
• Hold stretches still. No bouncing.
• Ask open questions and let players answer first.
• Finish with one clear focus for next session.

Common mistakes

• Skipping it when the session runs late.
• The coach doing all the talking in the review.
