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!

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
