Home/Training Drills/Set Pieces Drills/Short Corner Routine
Teloframe OfficialReviewed by Teloframe

Short Corner Routine

Beat a packed box with a short corner. Combine to draw a defender out and change the angle of delivery, then cut it back from the better position for a runner to finish.

Setup & instructions

From a corner, the taker plays short to a supporting player who has come to the flag. Combine, a one-two or an overlap, to draw a defender out and open the angle, then deliver a cutback into the box for a finish. Have a planned second action after the short pass. Rehearse it and rotate.

Setup time: 3 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Have a planned second action after the short pass, not a hopeful one
  • Combine to draw a defender out and create the overload wide
  • Deliver from the improved angle, away from the keeper's goal
  • Cut it back to a runner arriving on cue, the pass backwards
  • Movement in the box: dummy runs and crossovers to lose markers
  • Rehearse it: a short corner is a routine, not a hope

Common mistakes

  • A short corner with no planned second action, just delay
  • Not drawing a defender out, so the angle is no better
  • Over-hitting the cutback past the runners
  • Static attackers in the box, easy to mark

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Add defenders on the short corner and in the box
  • Vary it: one-two, overlap, or a switch to a deep crosser
  • Add near, spot, and far-post runners to attack the cutback

Regressions

  • Unopposed to groove the combination and the delivery
  • Slow the routine to a walk-through of the movement first
  • Serve the cutback by hand to rehearse the finish
