For Flash version - 
- Full team
all defending + 6-8 attacking players.
- Half a Pitch + full size goal.
- Vary delivery of corner - front & back post, short, pace, in-swinging and out-swinging.
- Attackers should take up different positions and make different runs off the ball.
The coach
should evaluate several points:
-
Analyse the positions of the goalkeeper, near/far post players and those
covering the penalty spot area. Do they keep to their designated positions
?
- Analyse the marking capacity of each defending player. Is the marking
tight or is the player caught ball-watching ?
- Analyse the technique of all the players to clear the ball and how quickly
they move out once it has been cleared.
- Evaluate the capacity of the players to adapt to different types of
serve, especially the short corner. Are they determined in challenging
for the ball and is the communication good, particularly the instructions
from the keeper ?
