Heading practice (Attacking and Defensive)

Attacking heading 

  • Begin by heading ball back to me, then progress to giving a target such as 'head to my left, head to my right, head low right'

Mechanics:

1. Eyes open 

2. Head ball using forehead 

3. Use neck & back muscles for power 

4. Arms out for balance 

5. Stay on toes 

6. Head top to middle of ball 

7. Go for accuracy


Defensive heading
  • I throw the ball and player has to head it over my head, then progress to giving a target to aim for by the use of cones a bit further away from me towards the left and right side of penalty area to create realism of a game where the cone may be a player on our team that he needs to head the ball to instead of a basic clearance header.
Mechanics:

1. Eyes open 

2. Head ball using forehead 

3. Use neck & back muscles for power 

4. Arms out for balance 

5. Stay on toes 

6. Head middle to bottom of ball 

7. Go for height and distance

2. Eye on ball 

3. Angle of approach 

4. Non-kicking foot alongside ball in a comfortable position
