Short Corner Defence 3 - 1

Description

• Setup the defence as shown with 2 defenders inside the goal on either post.
• In front of them are two runners.

Once the ball is injected Player 1 runs to the top of the circle, with player 2 running 3/4s of the way on their right hand side to cover the slip left. Player runs out on Player no 1s left hand side and runs level with Player 2. Player 4 comes 3 to 4 paces off the line to sweep the pads of the goalkeeper.

Coaching Points

• Its important that Players 2 and 3 do not commit themselves and instead try to read the corner.
