Set Piece Masterclass

SET PIECES are a fundamental part of the game, which is why teams are dedicating more and more time and resources to them.

There are an average of 60 set-piece situations per game (corners, free kicks and throw-ins), which means 60 opportunities to score (or concede) a goal. This is why so many elite teams now employ set-piece coaches and analysts, whose sole job is to create, plan and practice routines, as well as analysing what the opposition are doing.

In our Set Piece Masterclass, former Newcastle United First Team Analyst Billy Coulston will help to improve your understanding, preparation and delivery of Set Pieces.

His follow-along session covers:

- The 14 different types of set play.
- The importance of set plays.
- Incorporating sets plays into your game model.
- Analysing, planning and executing set plays with an elite team.
- How to create set piece routines and visualise them as still diagrams and moving animations.

You will also get:

- Free Creative Set Plays Template (Powerpoint and Keynote) to design your own set piece routines (we will email these to you).
- 30% discount on 50 Creative Set Plays to take your learning further.
