Heading

Heading is a difficult technique to coach to young players in particular. This section provides some great drills and advice to help you coach defensive headers and attacking headers. We look closely at the techniques involved and show you some fun games to help develop your player’s heading skills.

 

Remember to make sure that your heading practice is in line with the recommendations made by your governing body which may restrict whether and how much heading can be done by the players you are coaching.
