Set Pieces drills for U11-U12

Groove the pattern: the target heads it down to the edge, the striker times his arrival and finishes first time and low, no pressure.

Win the first contact and set the second ball for the edge. The target heads back down into the D, and the midfielder arrives late to strike it first time and low.

Beat the reaction and finish. Time the short exchange before the defender arrives, whip in a quality cross, and lose the marker to finish first-time.

Lift it high into the top corner, cleanly. Get enough on it to find the top corner without ballooning it, an unstoppable but higher-risk placement.

Groove the routine. Deliver flat to the near post, flick it on across goal, and time the back-post run to finish into the open goal.

Groove the routine. Roll it square with disguise, and the striker times the run to hit it first time into the mini-goal.

Open the angle and strike. Roll the ball square to shift the shooting angle, and the striker hits it first time before the wall and keeper adjust.

Flick it on and finish at the back post. Drive the inswinger to the near post, glance it on across goal, and time the back-post run to finish the flick.
