Today we’re going to work on our corner kicks and our throw-ins
Daily Drill 12/29/12
Cone target thrown ins – 5 minutes – Set up 5 cones in various locations on the field. Then take a throw-in from the sideline and try to hit these cones. Make sure you set up cones both short and long distances from your throw-in location. This drill is probably best done with multiple soccer balls.
Corner kick target – Inswing – 5 minutes – Set up cones at various locations in front of the goal. Possible locations include the near post, the far post, the top of the six yard box, and outside the six yard box. Set up on the corner where your natural curve of the ball takes it towards the goal. Try to play a ball in the air so that it lands on top of the cones without bouncing first.
