If you’ve got 15 minutes with your kid before practice, this is the order.

Most kids in youth sports use the first sprint as the warm-up. That’s the rep with the highest ground forces of the session, going through a body that spent twenty minutes in a car on the way to the field.

1️⃣ Single-leg toe-to-heel slides — 10 reps/side

The foot is the last thing between him and the ground.

2️⃣ Two-foot drop, land on one — then one foot, land on two — 5/side

First impact of the day, one leg at a time. This is where you find out which side isn’t ready.

3️⃣ Start on a tossed ball, facing it — 3 starts*10 yds

Now he accelerates, but he doesn’t choose when. No countdown, no “go”.

4️⃣ Start on a tossed ball, side-on — 1/side*10 yds

Same thing sideways — which is where most game starts actually happen.

5️⃣ Side shuffles on two cues — 20 secs

Throw two objects left and right. He moves to whichever one goes.

Now look at what happens across the five. The first two he controls completely. By the last one he’s reacting to something he can’t predict — and that’s how every play in his sport begins.

✅ He should be able to talk in full sentences the whole time. If he can’t, you’re doing the workout, not the warm-up
✅ Three of these need you throwing something. That’s not a flaw, that’s the part that makes it real
✅ The check: his first real sprint should look like his best one, not like a practice run
