Technical Drill Around the Corner | First Touch & Quick Play

Overview

  • Runs with 8 players
  • Uses a 30m x 30m field
  • Played in the corner-kick and sideline angle areas
  • Repeats situations that look and feel like the real game

Objectives

  • Sharpen how cleanly your players receive the ball around the corner
  • Speed up quick passing in tight spaces
  • Build the ability to spot the next option right off the first touch
  • Grow the decision-making to turn even a cramped area into a real attacking chance

Setup

Work on quick passing combinations and getting into the attack around the corner-kick zone.

1) Set out cones on the field and split into groups inside the corner area and outside it

2) The inside group receives passes around the corner

3) The player receiving the ball goes for a clean, fast first touch right away

4) After the first touch, lift the head and find the next passing option

5) Keep the passes accurate and at a quick tempo

6) After a set time, swap groups and keep the same play going
