It's essential in Football to try provide variation with your set pieces. If your corners keep being delivered in the same way, then the more likely your opponents will notice and intercept.
Mix your player's movements and delivery up, by assigning different runs to your players. Designate one of your team to provide a signal to your corner taker, and make sure all of your side knows what they mean. Communication is vital if you want to succeed with your set pieces!
These corners won't be just launching the ball into the box. We focus on the short corner routine, with your players making runs to provide the space for their team-mate to have a shot. Practice makes perfect and by following this plan, you'll be making those corners count!
