Corner Kick

As described in the graphic:

• Player A at the near post in the 5-meter area (targets short balls)
• Player B stands in front of the goalkeeper to create confusion (anticipates errors)
• Player C at the far post at the edge of the penalty area (targets long balls)
• Players D + E position themselves in the penalty area at the height of the near and far posts (headers / shots on goal)
• Player F approximately 25 meters centrally in front of the goal (targets rebounds from short clearances)
• 8 defenders (positioned according to defensive strategy)

Corners are taken alternately from right/left. Upon a signal (e.g., raised arm = long / lowered arm = short), the corner is executed. Short Corner: The player at the edge of the penalty area starts the play, receives a low pass, and lets the ball bounce. Then, a long cross is delivered to Player C or E.

Coaching Points:

• Be bold and aggressive in aerial duels
• Clear the ball away from dangerous areas (do not clear centrally in front of the goal)
• Immediately attempt to regain possession after clearing the ball
