The drill has 3 attacking players, one defender and a goalie.
The aim is to create a chance from a corner in small tournament games.
The attacker in the area must concentrate on making a yard of space to pass the ball back to the corner taker. To do this, move away from the ball so that the defender comes with you, then quickly change direction to the ball. The timing has to be right.
The corner taker can they pass a low pass in to the attacker in the box and follow their pass. They must pass the ball back with one touch to the corner taker.
As the corner taker receives the ball back, the defender moves up in to a shooting position at the edge of the box.
With one touch again, the corner taker must pass the ball perfectly in to the run of the defender so they can take the shot.
This drill is all about one touch, timing and movement. It should create a chance from every corner in a 6 a side game.
