Set-up

Run through both attacking corner routines and the free-kick defensive wall at match tempo but no contact. Ten reps of each routine. Players call their roles out loud as they execute — reinforces memory without fatigue.

Coaching points

  • Routine A and B — everyone must know both, not just their own role
  • GK calls the wall height and position every single rep — build the habit
  • If it's not automatic by now, slow it down and do it right rather than fast and wrong

Progressions

  • Add a passive opposition to simulate realistic set-piece density in the box
  • Run the routines from both sides of the field — game won't give you your favourite angle
