What this is about:
Most teams win short corners every match.
​
Very few have players who can actually take responsibility for them.
​
The injection isn’t reliable.
The trap isn’t clean.
No one is fully confident getting the shot away.
​
So it ends up rushed, or breaking down, or just going nowhere.
​
This block is about changing that.
​
It’s about building players who can take ownership of a role in a corner - and do it properly.
Who this is for
Secondary school players in 3rd - 5th Year
This is NOT suitable for:
-
Hockey beginners
-
Players looking for games or casual sessions
​
This IS suitable for:
-
Players new to short corner skills, who want to be part of attacking corners on their team.
-
Players wanting to refine and improve existing skills
-
Players who want correct technique and confidence before using these skills in matches
The Outcome
Over the 6 weeks, players will work towards becoming a go-to option in specific short corner roles.
​
That includes:
​
-
Injecting with the pace and consistency needed in matches
-
Trapping cleanly so the intended corner routine can be run.
-
Getting a shot or delivery away under pressure
-
Positioning and timing for deflections on open and reverse sides.
-
Rebounding positions, and how to score them in 1-2 touches
​
By the end of the block, players should be confident that:
“This is my role in a corner, and I can do it properly.”
​
Teams don’t need more players having a go at corners.
​
They need players who can be trusted to do a job.
How the Block Works
-
6 sessions, 1 hour each
-
Built up properly week by week
-
High repetition in each role
-
Players rotate so they understand the full setup
​
We’ll slow everything down, get it right, and then build it back up.
​
Corners improve when you spend time working on them; this time is not readily available in team settings.

Why this block exists now
The season’s just finished.
​
This is the only real window to work on this properly.
​
During the season, corners just happen quickly and the same players end up doing the same roles - whether they’re doing them well or not.
​
There’s no time to fix it.
​
Now there is.
​
If you don’t sort it here, you go back into next season in the same position.
"This is about becoming the player your team uses when a short corner is won, not just someone standing on the edge of the circle."
