Tallinn Warm Up & Reactions
ADDED TO FAVOURITES
Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 6 | Pitch size: 20x20
This SAQ and reactions warm-up is designed to develop speed, agility, coordination and reactive decision-making. Players work through a series of movement-based actions, staying active and ready while maintaining awareness of the coach’s instructions. On the coach’s shout, players must quickly rotate or switch stations, encouraging constant movement, alertness and engagement throughout the practice.
At any moment, the coach can call out a specific colour, triggering a reaction-based competition. The two players facing each other must react instantly and race to collect and place the correct coloured cone positioned ahead of them. This adds a competitive element, challenging players’ reaction speed, decision-making and ability to respond under pressure.

Multiple Colour Calls:
Call out two colours in quick succession, forcing players to process information and prioritise their reaction.
Focus:
Improves cognitive processing speed, decision-making and ability to react accurately under increased pressure.
