- Fun warm up to encourage positive team morale and competition - but at the same time warming up and conditioning the players;
- Players follow the route around the poles / cones - coach to incorporate different movemets. E.g. heel flicks, knees up, side step, lunge, backwards running. Coach can also include a ball within the warm up (as part of the competition);
- Players take a coloured bib with them as part of the 0s & Xs competition. When players get to the red grid, they place the bib within the the grid. The team that is able to connect 3 of their colour bibs in a row (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) win!

- Technical elements - powerful movements to develop speed, quick feet around poles - good agility, intelligent placement of bib - seeing in advance, close control of the ball (if coach decides to use).
