"Set pieces are often planned in training. They are attacking moves made from a restart such as a freekick, corner or throw-in. If a team has a player who can throw the ball a long way, it may treat a throw-in that is level with the penalty area as if it were a corner. Often a target player just inside the penalty area will attempt to flick the throw into the goal area. Mostly, set pieces are planned from corners and attacking free kicks. At a corner, a team's tallest players or its best headers of the ball move up, usually from defence, to join strikers and attacking midfielders in the penalty area. Corners are sometimes played short to catch the defending team of guard, but usually they are whipped into the goal area. The attacking side looks for a header or shot on goal or a flick to a team-mate." - The Kingfisher Football Encyclopedia
