Overview
- Players U15 and up
- Players who want to cash in on set pieces around the goal
- Players with experience taking free kicks from midfield into the penalty area
- Situations that call for well-timed combination play
Objectives
- Master several scoring patterns off free kicks
- Dial in the timing between the kicker and the runners
- Build shared combinations the whole team can read and execute in a split second
- Sharpen the instinct to score naturally off set pieces
Setup
This is a routine that turns free kicks into goals through several set patterns. The kicker delivers from a designated area and links up with multiple runners to attack the goal.
１）Set up one kicker and two to three runners.
２）Have the kicker vary the ball left, right, and in depth.
３）Runners attack on their pre-set runs, receive the ball, and finish.
４）Rep out several patterns (early timing, late timing, diagonal runs, and so on).
５）Rotate through several kickers so everyone gets reps both delivering and making the run.
