This training drill is aimed at perfecting the positioning of all players for corner kicks. It also focuses on using players in the penalty box as a decoy so the attacking midfielder on the edge of the 'D' loses his marker and is able to make an unmarked run into the box to make contact with the ball be it a free header or a strike on goal
The attacking midfielder sits on the edge of the 'D' ready to make a run towards the penalty spot to meet the ball as it is delivered from the corner taker.
Both central defenders stand on the edge of the 6 yard box ready to make a run to the near/far post when the ball is delivered to enable them to pounce on any rebounds.
