Players A,B,C,1 & 2 Rush the Goal Keeper

| |
The purpose of this play is to create confusion and anxiety for our opponents!

Our players are shown in yellow and green.  The opposition is pink and the ball is teal.

Our kicker controls the play.  She drops her hand and our players start running.  The kicker times her kick, so the ball meets our players near the other team's goal keeper.

Our Corner Kicker Controls This Play - when our kicker drops her arm, everyone run into position.  Time your run so everyone arrives at the same time.  On the picture above, those with longer lines need to run faster and those with shorter lines need to run slower.  Players K, A, B, C, 1, and 2 are key players.  Timing is everything!
 

 
 
Simple Drills:
Try It Out!  Timing is the Key to this Play!  On the surface this corner kick play looks too simple to be effective.  In reality, the other team usually panics and does something stupid - like scoring on themselves!
Practice, Practice, Practice! Again - Timing is Everything!  Our corner kicker controls the play - when she drops her arm, everyone runs into position.  She times her kick so that the ball arrives at the same time as our players do - right in front of the opponent's keeper!

Opportunities to look for:

  • Header/Body Goal from players A, B, 1 or 2
  • Short sided foot goal from Player C
  • Rebound goal from any outside player x or K
  • Letting the other team score on themselves!
Coaching Points
  • Team Work - All Players Must Work Together
  • Corner Kicker Controls the Play
  • Players A, B, C, 1, and 2 Try to Create Opportunities as they Rush the Opponent's Goal Keeper
