Free Kick Shape — Attacking and Defensive Wall

Split into two phases. Phase one: attacking team practises one set free-kick routine from twenty yards — two players on the ball, one shoots, one dummies. Phase two: defending team builds their wall and covers second-ball positions. Switch groups after five reps each.

• Wall players: stand shoulder to shoulder, don't leave gaps, and don't flinch
• The player not shooting: your dummy has to be convincing or it's useless
• Defenders behind the wall: watch the ball, not the wall

• Run both phases together — attacking routine against the live defensive setup
• Move free kick to a wide angle; now the routine changes — driven ball across instead of a shot
