Corner Kick

  • Age U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 10-15 players, 16-22+ players

Setup

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)

Procedure

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.

Tip

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
