Set Pieces drills for U11-U12

Young players are not allowed to head the ball, so the swung-in corner is pointless. This short routine keeps it on the ground and creates a clear strike.

Screening at a corner sits on the edge of what referees allow. The difference between a block and a foul is whether your hands move.

No wall is allowed, the keeper is ten metres away and the goal is small. This is a penalty with a slightly better save chance.

Four seconds from the ball being still, and the referee counts. A futsal kick-in is not a throw-in with feet, it is a play on a clock.

A wide free kick is a corner with better geometry. Pick the zone, whip it away from the keeper, and time the run to meet it.

Somewhere between thirty and forty throw-ins happen in a match and most teams rehearse none of them. Throw to feet, open up, cross.

Most corners are cleared. The chance is what happens next, on the edge of the box, and it usually falls to nobody in particular.

Goalkeepers set up to protect what they can get to. Bend an inswinger beyond the near-post crowd and the far post is the space left over.

Playing short trades a ball into the box for a better angle to deliver from. It only pays if the second action is planned, not hopeful.

Delivered flat and fast to the near post, a long throw is a corner with no offside. Flick it on and gamble on the knockdown.

The most reliable attacking corner in the game. A whipped inswinger to the near post, a hard run to glance it on, and a back-post runner to finish.
