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)!

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
