A BASIC INTRODUCTION
Set-plays in the attacking third provide teams with the opportunity
to create a goal-scoring situation.
Free kicks, throw-ins, corner kicks and penalty kicks enable
teams to put into practice the rehearsed moves that they have
spent hours practicing on the training ground.
It is no coincidence that set-plays are a major factor in
scoring goals and, therefore, effect the results of many games.
Set-plays are a source of goals because:
(i) The most competent deliverer
is able to take the set-play
(ii) Delivery is made easier
because the ball is 'dead'
(iii) There is limited pressure
on the player taking the set-play
(iv) Teams can put their key
players in key positions
(v) Teams will have practiced
these set moves
NOTE: Practice is the most important aspect
of successful set-plays!
