Set-up

Variation A: inswinger to the near post, flick-on for a back-post runner. Variation B: short corner to full-back, driven low cross for an arriving midfielder. Each player assigned a specific zone or movement. Rep each variation eight times from both sides, then mix in sequence.

Coaching points

  • Delivery: Brady Lausch and Gavin Kochel are the corner-takers — one inswinger, one flat; know your role
  • Runners: your timing is the delivery; don't go early and don't go late
  • Ben Steinmetz — watch this from your end; get familiar with how the delivery moves

Progressions

  • Add a passive goalkeeper and two passive defenders to make the delivery realistic
  • Run a live corner with full opposition including GK
