A soccer corner kick is awarded when the entire ball passes over the other team’s end line, whether on the ground or in the air, when it last touched a player of the other team.

To take corner kicks in soccer, consider these things:

Rules for corner kicks in soccer 1 - The ball must be placed in the corner area

On grass fields, fluff the grass a bit and place the ball on the fluffed spot to reduce friction with the ground and to easily get your foot under the ball.

Right-footed corner kick takers should place the ball to the left of the flag.

Left-footed corner kick takers should place the ball to the right of the flag.

Put it as far away from the flag as possible to ensure the flag does not get in the way.

Rule 2 for how to do a corner kick in soccer - The corner flagpost cannot be moved.

Therefore, do not bend it out of the way or move it to the side.

Rule 3 for rules of corner kick in soccer - The ball must be stationary

It can’t be rolling or bouncing, so if you put the ball down, make sure it is fully stopped before taking the corner.

Also, I prefer to use the bone of my foot to strike the ball into the box. This ensures enough ball speed so that if a teammate goes to head the ball, they can have a powerful header.

Rule 4 - The ball is in play when it is kicked and clearly moves

Unless you have a set play that you intend to use, I recommend that you kick the ball into the danger zone to increase the chance that one of your players scores.

The danger zone is far enough away that the goalkeeper may not come out, but close enough that a header will still be able to score because the goalkeeper will not have enough time to react.

Rule 5 – Players from the opposing team must remain at least 10 yards from the corner arc until the ball is played.

This means that you can have a teammate stand close to you and pass them the ball while the other team has to remain 10 yards away until you do. However, unless you have a great set play, I do not recommend passing to a teammate that is only a few feet away. You have an opportunity to kick the ball into the box unimpeded. So don’t risk the ball not even getting in the box.

Once the ball is in play, if the corner kick taker touches the ball again before it has touched by anyone else, an indirect free kick is awarded.

Pro-Tip: The ball does not need to leave the corner area, it just needs to be kicked and clearly moves. Therefore, get creative with this. Have one player go place the ball down barely kick it so it stays in the corner spot, and then have them switch with another player and that other player begins to dribble the ball towards the net to catch the other team off-guard. Also, you may want to let the referees know the rule and that you intend to use it so they are aware and do not whistle it dead as you attempt a trick play.

Consider this Corner Kick Play

On my team, one of our favorite corner kick plays involves 2-3 players. Ideally, as soon as the ball goes out of bounds, the player nearest the ball quickly grabs it places it in the corner arc and passes it on the ground toward the space between the top of the 18-yard box and the penalty kick spot. The attacking center midfielder or one of the forwards will take a step in the wrong direction and then sprint towards the spot that the ball is to be played for an easy shot on inside the 18-yard box. If you want to involve a third player, you can have them set a pick against the defender who is covering the player on your team responsible for taking the shot.

Avoid kicking the ball over everyone and especially out of bounds. You have 120 yards of field to kick it into, it should not go out of bounds.

Also, avoid trying to score from corner kicks. Though you are allowed to and it looks cool, it is not a high probability shot and the goalkeeper will likely grab the ball and start a quick counterattack against your team because of it.
