Game designed to improve heading technique. The players play in pairs, against another pair. Each player defends a line, which is there goal. The ball is hand fed in by one player to their partner, who subsequently uses their head to try and score over the line of one of the opposition players. A point is scored, if the ball crosses the line below waist height of the player on the line. Players can save the ball with any part of their body, but only score with their head. They can also choose to head the ball back straight away if viable, or pick the ball up again and hand feed it to their partner. Each game is 2 minuts long, and then the winning pair move up and the losers move down in a promotion/relegation style. Each grid 3x3m.
