Equipment: regular goal, 6 red bibs
Objectives: organize defense to IMMEDIATELY get set for direct kicks, corner kicks, other team's goal kicks

• Corner kicks:
  Demonstration: set 4D + G at proper spots (near post, far post, on 6 yd line at near post, on touch line as close as ref will allow to corner); direct all remaining players but one fwd to mark up; if too many A's, sacrifice set spots to mark in this order: close to kicker, far post, 6yd corner

Teaching Progression: set 4D + G; practice "KEEPER! AWAY!" against corner kicks, w/ clears to targets at corners of 18yd box; gradually add attackers until have 4D+G vs 6A

Direct Kicks:
Demonstration: show change in # in wall as go from side angle & 1 in wall, to center with 5 in wall, to center/close with all on goal line, goalie in front; show goalie how to line up wall to cover one side, set self to cover remainder; Sweeper to cover 6yd corner, remainder to mark up; wall MUST NOT break up until ball is kicked

Teaching Progression: 1st practice picking # & setting the wall; then add attackers and practice defending

Summary:
In all cases, must organize FAST! On corner kicks, must cover 4 spots & mark up; clear to safety zones; On direct kicks, must set and hold wall at goalie's direction FAST, hold wall until kick, keep concentration.
