Set Piece Workshop — Corners and Free Kicks

Split time: 12 minutes on corner routines (two variations — near-post flick-on and far-post peeled run), 13 minutes on dead-ball free kicks 25–30 yards out. Deliverer rotates between Pablo Navas and Shandon Barnock. Defending group works on marking assignments simultaneously.

• Runners: timing of movement is everything — go too early and you're marked, go with the ball
• Near-post runner creates space; far-post runner exploits it — they're linked
• Free kick taker: pick your spot before you place the ball, not after

• Add full GK and defensive unit — make it competitive, not just rehearsal
• Second variation: short corner to Pablo Navas for a crossing situation — tag on it now
