Corner Kick Game:

Corner kick game:

Corner kick is a soccer drill used for teaching the techniques of attacking as well as defending.

This game is played on half a field with two goals and goalkeepers. The two groups or teams of eight players are divided into teams of four. For this game, a large number of soccer balls are set up to the four corners. The game is a 4v4 with the rest of the 4 players from every group situated at the sides of their group’s attacking goal. Every game is for approximately 4 minutes and the “corner” players trade positions with the field players.

Each time the ball is kicked out of the bound, the group that just gained possession is granted a corner kick at their attacking goal. That implies they should sprint to their penalty area and attempt to execute a fast corner-kick before the defending group responds. On the off chance that the goalkeeper gets the ball, he is to disperse as quickly as he can, hoping to locate a breakaway situation.

There is no off-side in this game. You can begin the play with a goalkeeper distribution. After a score, you can transition to the next goal for a corner-kick. Another alternative would be for the beaten goalkeeper to distribute to any one of his teammates to restart play.

Some coaching points for corner kick game are for the team coach to encourage sprinting and high work rate. Also, emphasis should be placed in quick but accurate corner kicks. The players need to try and recognize the first player who opens space for himself. The coach should make the players positioned as defenders to sprint back to their goal after they lose the ball out of bounds. Furthermore, more emphasis should be placed in aggression in the box. Also, players should be taught to give importance to the techniques of quick transitioning from offence to defense as well as defense to offence.
