Set-up
Scored scrimmage today — W/D/L points in play. Eight attackers v six defenders plus a goalkeeper. Coach awards a corner or free kick every four minutes to practice set-piece delivery under light pressure. Normal goals count; set-piece goals count double. Rotate teams at halftime.
Coaching points
- Treat the set piece like it's 1-0 down in the final — get the runs right
- Defenders organise fast — no standing and arguing about who takes who
- Transition after the set piece: if it breaks down, win it back immediately
Progressions
- Add two defenders to make it 8v8 and neutralise the overload
- Attackers must score from open play before they earn a set piece
