Free Kick Routines — Dead Ball Organisation

Rehearse two free-kick routines. Routine A: Kim shoots direct over the wall, GK positioned to cover the far corner. Routine B: dummy run across the ball, Silva takes it to the opposite side of the wall. Use cone mannequins as the wall. Five reps of each. Defensive players organise a wall on the other end simultaneously.

• Wall organisation: Danny Alvarez is the wall captain — he sets the line before Kim runs up
• Kim: look at the GK position before you shoot — aim for the gap, not the corner blindly
• Decoy runners: sell the dummy, make it convincing; a half-hearted dummy is a wasted routine

• Add a live GK who has not been briefed on which routine is coming
• Practice the defensive side: organise the wall and cover the second ball from a blocked shot
