Organization
Create a central heading area with servers on both sides and target zones or mini goals ahead. Players rotate through approach, jump and heading positions after each service.
Coaching Points
Watch the ball early; attack the service rather than wait; use the forehead; generate power from the whole body; direct the header away from the goalkeeper.
Progressions
- Add passive defenders or vary the height and angle of service.
Regressions
- Use hand-served balls from short distance and larger target zones.
