Corner_kicks
7) Corner Kicks- For corner kicks, we perfer inswingers as opposed to outswingers.
Play #1
Key Points: Inswingers (1)-CORNER KICKER- kicks ball to black hole- a bending kick, head high. The ball is flicked on by player (2) -THE HOLE-. He then turns to the goalie to get any rebounds that fall into the black hole. Player (3) -CHAOS- tries to help free up player (2) then moves to goalie to distract him, get in his way and keep him from running to the ball. Players (4 & 5)-ROSA TEAM- work together to try to get a header in the area of the zona rosa. Player (6)- THE GARBAGE MAN- covers the far post. It is his job to make sure no ball gets through. Players 7 & 8) –ARC TEAM- are looking for a loose ball one or two touch shot. Consider shooting at own players. Players (9 & 10) are providing double coverage on offensive player at midfield.
Play #2
Key Points: Same as Play #1 except player (3) moves to the corner. A wall pass is made to player (1). Player (1) quickly provides a cross. The purpose of the wall pass is to simply to give the corner kicker a better angle for his corner kick. Player (1) can not play the ball back to player (3). A good team will trap offsides as soon as 3 passes back to (1). If player (3) is not open when his run is made, player (1) simply takes his corner kick.
