Proper Warm-Up:

Encourage players to perform a dynamic warm-up before play. Dynamic movements—such as light jogging, lunges, jump rope, resistance band exercises, or stationary biking—get the blood flowing, reducing the risk of injury. This is especially important in cold weather, when muscles are at higher risk of strain. If a player skips the warm-up, the coach should start with low-intensity exercises to gradually prepare the body for more dynamic movement.
