In part 1 of this double-header we aim to improve:
What's in the Session?
We start with a couple of pairs heading exercises, allowing you the chance to go round your players and observe their technique - ensuring they keep their eyes open and make good contact with the ball using their forehead.
Once everyone has got their eye in we bring things to a head with three games! All these great games are designed to practice and encourage as much heading on goal as possible.
Use your head and check out these double header sessions (click here to view Heading - Part II)!

Set pieces account for roughly a third of all goals in football, yet many coaches spend surprisingly little time coaching defensive organisation at corners and free kicks. This article compares zonal and man marking systems, explores hybrid approaches, and provides a practical session structure for building set piece resilience into your team.
A player's first touch determines everything that follows: whether they can play forward, turn, or simply retain the ball. This article explores why training first touch in isolation is not enough, and how to design sessions that develop this critical skill under realistic game pressure.
The coaching methodology revolution sweeping grassroots football - and how to implement it at your club this season.
