Indirect Free Kick — Short Routine and Strike
A repeatable indirect free-kick routine where the first player disguises the restart and a teammate sets the ball for a strike. The practice develops timing, weight of pass, communication and quick organisation around dead-ball situations.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Mark several indirect free-kick positions around the edge of the box. Use a goalkeeper, a passive or semi-active wall and three attackers: starter, setter and shooter. Add two rebound players once the pattern is established.
Coaching Points
Communicate the trigger clearly | First touch should move the wall or create a new angle | Set the ball at the correct pace and distance | Shooter arrives balanced | Attack rebounds and second balls
Progressions
- Allow the defending wall to break and press as soon as the first touch is taken.
Regressions
- Use no wall and rehearse the timing pattern unopposed.
