Heading the Ball

Heading is the act of playing the ball with your head. However, due to concerns about brain injury and the potential long-term risk of dementia, it is recommended to limit heading as much as possible, particularly for young players.

Heading Technique

Always head the ball with your forehead, never with the top of your head.
Tighten your neck muscles and move your upper body and torso backwards, then forwards to generate power.
Keep your eyes open so you can judge the flight and timing of the ball accurately.
Jump at the right moment and use your arms to help you gain height and maintain your balance.
