The Beattie Free Kick

Here's a team exercise which involves the practice of a free kick.

I saw the free kick taken by James Beattie some years ago whilst he played for Southampton.

Given the need for the shooter to turn and spin before being closed down, it's not likely that the shooter is going to get a lot of power into the shot, so this one is best saved for those free kicks on the edge of the box (or in 5-a-side comps!). But it's worth a try - and it's proven that it works !!
