Attacking corner (15 mins)

Attacking corner:

Target -> near post running header

How?

1) Player in the 6 yard box will run towards the corner, hopefully dragging the near post defender with him

2) While he makes that run, the four players in the box will start their movements, 3 of them will move to the far post trying to drag as many defenders as possible, being very loud and wide

3) The target will start the near post movement

4) The player that ran outside of the box will do a one-two with the corner kick taker, that will then cross a inswing aiming for the near post

5) Near post runner heads it to score

Attacking free kick:

Target -> Far post runner

How?

Set up:

Two players on the ball, one player with the wall, five player in the box

1) First player will run over the ball, play it backwards and keep running, hopefully dragging on of the defense wall players

2) Now two movements need to be timed perfectly at the same time: the player on the wall turns and start making his run to the box, and the player that was on the far side of the box runs towards the top of the box

3) Player now on top of the box gives a one touch pass to the wall runner, while all the other players wait in the box (even though they are offside, the ball is being played to the wall runner that is on side)

4) Wall runner plays it back into the box for the finish and goal

1) player 3 run towards the ball asking for it loudly, player 4 is aware of his movement

2) player 3 lets the ball go by him and turns quickly around his defender
