7v7 Set Pieces

Throw-in repetitions from both sides. Both the Tower (high throw-in to head) and the Loop (short throw-in to feet then overlap). Call the name before each rep — this is the discipline habit you're building. Everyone takes 4 throw-ins.

Near-post corner (one runner to near post): 5 reps. Far-post corner (striker peeling to far post, second runner late into near post): 5 reps. Short corner (ball played to supporting player, then whipped in): 5 reps. Passive defence only. Name each routine before each corner.

One direct free-kick routine and one indirect. Direct: wall, shooter picks a corner, strikes. Indirect: wall, layoff to runner, shot. Both taken from the same range (22 yards). Every player shoots at least once.

7v7 game. Rule: every set piece must be a named routine, called before execution. Unnamed set piece gives possession to opposition. Coach enforces strictly for the first 5 minutes, then backs off and observes. Did it stick?

Walk through all four routine names. Test the squad: coach points to a player, asks them to name the corner routine or the throw-in. Stick to the name — they'll remember it on Saturday.
