DESCRIPTION

Equipment: Marked area appropriate size for age, 8 cones, 2 ball between 4 players

Organisation: Players set up as shown in the video and diagram. One player serves the ball to team mate who must head the ball up back to server. 5 headers in the air (defensive) and 5 headers downwards (attacking). Younger players maybe scared to head the ball so to start use a smaller softer ball and only a short distance between players.

Progressions:

Increase / decrease the distance between players
Server can move left or right so the header must be directed.

Coaching Points

Timing of the header
Direction of the header
Use the forehead, not the top of the head
