Why this drill works

Futsal corners, taken within 4 seconds, are a genuine scoring chance on the small court. A rehearsed routine — a near-post flick, a pull-back, or a worked short corner — turns corners into goals. This drill installs corner routines that beat a packed small goal.

?Frequently asked questions

Are futsal corners a big chance?
Yes — on the small court with players close to goal, a well-worked corner is a high-percentage chance. Combined with the 4-second rule rewarding quick, rehearsed routines, corners are well worth practising.
