Team Dynamic Warm-Up

Kevin Neeld

This is a team warm-up that can be used before practices, games, and off-ice training sessions. This warm-up takes around 10 minute to perform. Set your team up in 3-5 lines and have the next person go when the preceding person is about 5 yards ahead of them. This should allow adequate space to perform the exercises correctly, but also maintain the desired pace to increase heart rate and body temperature.
