Corner Kick Set Routines | The Basics of Scoring from Set Pieces

Overview

• Whole teams looking to score off set pieces
• Players who want to master set corner kick patterns
• Teams working to sharpen connection and run timing in front of goal

Objectives

• Lock in your corner kick scoring patterns
• Get the timing between kicker and attackers spot on
• Use off-the-ball movement to open up space in front of goal

Setup

Run your set corner kick routines over and over until the whole team has the scoring pattern down.

１）Set your kicker and attackers’ positions (agree on the target area as a team — near post, far post, central, etc.)

２）Everyone confirms their run timing off the ball placement

３）With no defenders, place the ball and make the runs exactly as the routine calls for

４）Play it all the way through to the shot and check what worked and what didn’t

５）Fix anything that needs adjusting and go again
