Set-up
Start every sequence from a set piece — corner, free kick, throw-in — then let play continue naturally from the second ball. Coach restarts with a new set piece each time. No score kept; just repetitions and shape.
Coaching points
- After the set piece, get back into your shape immediately — set pieces end, the game goes on
- Striker: if the set piece breaks down, press the first pass — don't switch off
- Whole team: know your job from the set piece AND what comes next
Progressions
- Coach delays the next set piece to let open play develop longer — tests whether shape holds
- Add a small defending unit so players see what their routines look like under real pressure
