In part 2 of this double-header we aim to improve':
What's in the Session?
We progress from what we worked in Heading - Part I by challenging your players to put some power behind their headers, practising diving headers and praising creativity (by getting players to use the side of their heads.
There's no room for fear of heading in this session as your players will be too busy working in groups of four, trying to beat each other in the opening heading challenge game. Following this we then translate the skill into a game by playing a small-sided crossing game.
Use your head and check out these double header sessions!
