Free Kick and Penalty Practice

Set pieces are game-changing opportunities that require precision and composure. For free kicks, place the ball at varying distances between 18 and 25 meters from the goal. Aim to take 10 free kicks per position, targeting different corners of the goal. Experiment with curling, knuckleball, and driven shots to develop versatility. For penalties, focus on consistent placement—practice 20 penalties in each session, alternating between aiming at the bottom corners and the top corners. Visualize match scenarios by simulating pressure situations, like setting a time limit or asking teammates to watch. Practicing these routines 3 times a week will significantly boost your confidence and scoring ability in critical moments.
