Football: Heading on the move

You don't need to be Peter Crouch to score from corners. Work on scoring from wide angles with this attacking headers session

Starting in pairs in this session we work on Heading Confidence, Accuracy and Hand-Eye coordination required for throw ins

Players are split into two teams and line up behind the red cone at their end. One blue player starts in the middle between the two middle cones. They are the goalkeeper.

To start the drill the coach feeds a lofted throw to the red player to advance onto and try to head between the cones. The blue keeper tries to stop the ball and can use any part of their body to do so.

After they have headed the ball the goalkeeping player joins the back of the opposite line and the red player (who just had the attacking header) becomes the new keeper between the cones.

Group in pairs. 1 ball per pair. Repeat in 5 other areas for a total of 12 players.

The goalkeeper serves the ball underhand and with both hands in front of the player. The player runs in and heads the ball towards the goal. He should look up and head the ball downwards and towards the corners. Rotate positions.

Serve the ball high or low to encourage the player to dive or leap to meet the ball.

two players tryto head the ball to each other as may times as possible.

The player with the ball feeds it anti-clockwise to the second player's head for them to head to the third player in the triangle.

The third player now feeds the ball to the first player for them to head to the second player's hands.
