To help young athletes warm up safely and avoid injuries, here are some simple exercises:

1. Dynamic Stretches:

   • Leg Swings: Swing your legs forward and backward to help your hips move better.
   • Arm Circles: Make small and big circles with your arms to warm up your shoulders.

2. Light Aerobic Activities:

   • Jogging: Go for a light jog for about 5 to 10 minutes to get your heart racing.
   • Jumping Jacks: This is a fun exercise that gets your blood flowing!

3. Sport-Specific Drills:

   • Dribbling a Basketball: This helps get your hands and legs ready for the game.
   • Passing a Soccer Ball: This works the muscles you'll use in soccer.

These exercises not only help you play better but also keep you safe while you play!
