Coaches Warm-ups

[Starfly]

I coach level 6. Today I had 2 girls competing and we were behind a team of 12 girls. Normally when we have small numbers, we join the other team and warm-up with them; however, we couldn't do that with a team of 12. My girls were literally waiting for 30 or more minutes between each event. Their last event was floor. With a 30-40 minute wait, and a 3 minute warm-up, I told them to skip anything that they didn't feel safe doing. I'm new to level 6 and this waiting forever thing is new to me. Do you deal with this? And if so, how do you handle it so your girls are warmed up well enough to actually compete. There isn't always room around the events to warm-up their bodies before their time warm-up begins...

2 minutes of jumping jacks where they are waiting after 10 minutes of waiting
2 minutes of running in place after another 10 minutes of waiting
repeat for every extra 10 minutes of waiting

Anything to keep them loose and warm.

And if the venue is chilly, definitely have them put their warm ups back on after each event.
