Obj: Defensive free-kick organization mastered — the wall's construction, the GK's architecture, and everyone else's jobs while the wall stands (H-04's defensive half expanded to the whole team). Field: Defensive-half dead-ball spots, goal + GK. Equip: Goal, balls, bibs, mannequins for attackers. Org: The code drilled at referee-realistic speed: GK calls the number (distance-and-angle chart internalized — I-18's math), the designated wall-builders assemble (tallest inside post-line, feet set, no turning), the non-wall jobs assigned by rule (drop-line markers on runners, the seal on the pull-back space at the wall's side — the second-most-scored free-kick route, guarded by code), and the rebound-reaction plan (wall breaks OUT on the strike, never watches — E-22's blocks at dead balls). Live kicks in volume from H-04's takers (both departments feeding each other). CP: (1) Speed is the code's first virtue (walls built in 8 seconds concede nothing to quick kicks — H-09's threat defended); (2) the wall's discipline: no jumpers turning, no gaps opening at the strike (the flincher's gap is the goal); (3) everyone NOT in the wall is marking or sealing — spectators concede. Prog: Wall-lier decisions (U16+, scout-driven vs. under-wall strikers); numbers-down walls (a man in the book — reorganize fast). Reg: Mannequin kicks; jobs walked. Mist: P: wall-adjacent players ball-watching the strike; C: the GK's chart untaught (walls built by committee are built wrong — his goal, his math, I-18). Time: 12 min biweekly. Out: 8-second walls; the pull-back seal automatic; free kicks against converting near-zero. Var: Chaos kicks (deflections and rebounds live after every strike — H-13's second phase attached). Diag: Wall assembled with GK's number-call bubble, drop-line markers on runners, the pull-back seal shaded at the wall's side, break-out arrows on the strike.
