Organization

Set a direct or indirect free kick outside the penalty area with a full goal and goalkeeper. Use two or three attackers around the ball. One player makes a dummy action while another combines or receives for the final strike.

Coaching Points

Sell the dummy with realistic body language; time the second movement; disguise the pass; strike quickly before the defence resets; rehearse communication cues.

Progressions

  • Add a live wall and recovering defender or create a second finishing option.

Regressions

  • Rehearse without defenders and use fixed starting positions.
