For professional reasons, Warnken ended his active career in 2005 and devoted himself exclusively to his coaching responsibility, which he had already started parallel to his active career in the same year.

Trainer

Warnken trained for the first time in 2005/2006 the C-Team of the TSC Hansa Syke founded by him with the self-created theme "Anastacia" (Landesliga Nord). Warnken left the club after the season and founded the B-Team of the then TSA in SC Weyhe, the first club of his active career. The club started as TSC Weyhe with two teams in the 2006/2007 season. The B-formation trained by Warnken rose to the Oberliga Nord with the theme "Heroes" and started as the club's A team in the coming year. In 2007/2008 Warnken's team achieved relegation in the Oberliga Nord, also with the subject of "Heroes" and Jana Hofmann as assistant coach. In the first two years in Weyhe, the Warnken team in Austria took part in the Danube Cup together with 19 other clubs and was able to secure a place in the final. In 2008/2009, the Warnken and Hofmann team danced the theme of “Soul Passion” and rose to the Regionalliga Nord in Weyhe . The team and both coaches left TSC Weyhe after this year. In 2009/2010 Warnken trained together with Oliver Tienken the A-Team of TSZ Blau-Gelb Bremen , which danced on the subject of "Body Language" (Regionalliga Nord), as well as the A-Team of TSC Walsrode with the same subject (Oberliga Nord). Both coaches resigned from work for TSZ Blau-Gelb Bremen after the season as planned.

In the 2010/2011 season, the A-Team of TSC Walsrode made it to the regional league and was able to secure third place in the league in the following season 2011/2012 with their new topic "Rihanna - please don't stop the music" . In the 2012/2013 season, Warnken's team took 2nd place in the Regionalliga North Latin. The new topic of the Walsroder in the 2013/2014 season was "Showgirls". The team won all five regional league tournaments and was also able to win the promotion tournament to the 2nd Bundesliga. Warnken's team was able to dance its way to 2nd place in the final ranking of the 2nd Bundesliga in the following season 2014/2015 and thus went straight to the 1st Bundesliga. This promotion to the upper house of German formation dance qualified for participation in the German championships on November 14, 2015 in Bremen. Warnken officially ended his coaching career after the 2015/2016 season with the theme "Phoenix" in the 1st Bundesliga. In the following season 2016/2017, Warnken surprisingly continued to support the A-Team for one season as a coach and rose again with the team to the 1st Bundesliga, which again entitled to participate in the German championships on November 11, 2017 in Bremen.

Since the 2010/2011 season, Warnken, in addition to his permanent commitment to TSC Walsrode, has been responsible for the TSA A-team on Ellerbeker TV and has been able to lead the team from the state to the regional Latin league. After the 2013/2014 season, Warnken and his assistant coach Stefan Dieckmann ended their involvement with TSA on Ellerbeker TV. Warnken trained in the 2013/14 season together with Oliver Tienken also the A-Team of TSC Blau-Gold Nienburg , which he sporadically looked after in the previous season. With the topic “Showgirls” the team took second place in the Oberliga Nord Latin and subsequently rose to the Regional League North Latin.
