Capture Image

Warm : Headers (5mins)

Set up : 

Cones marked for players 4m across and 2m apart from each other

Cones marking 2m or halfway for each pair

Description: 

Players pair up and look to pass(toss) to their teammate to head the ball. Pairs will start with the 2m cones and then move back to the 4m cones. Players will practice body positioning to head the ball as well as control the power from heading the ball ; by stepping forward, standing still or back pedaling.  Pairs will switch for headers after every 5 tosses/headers.

Progression: Heading while

  • standing still
  • approaching
  • back pedaling

Coaching points: 

  • communicate with teammate before receiving the ball
  • adjust body positioning to be able to get under/behind the ball
  • practice controlling the weight of the header to accurately pass back to teammate
  • keep eyes open
  • get aligned with the ball
  • use your forehead
