Long Range Curler

Objective

Bend a shot around a wall and into the far corner from 20+ yards.

Equipment

• Balls
• Goal
• Cones

Instructions

1. 1

   Set a wall of 2–3 cones 10 yards from goal to simulate a free-kick wall.

2. 2

   Place the ball 22 yards out, slightly to the right of centre.

3. 3

   Strike with the inside of the right foot across the ball to generate left-to-right curl.

4. 4

   10 reps from each side.

Coaching Points

• ✓ Strike the outside half of the ball with the inside of the foot.
• ✓ Follow through across the body to maximise spin.
• ✓ Aim for the far post — the curl will bring it back toward goal.

Variations

• → Add a live goalkeeper.
• → Use a laces-driven shot curled with the outside of the foot.
