As the players progress it is more and more important that their ability to head the ball improves and they can get some distance on their headers. Again, this drill is not really suitable for the younger players. We started with this when the players were 13.

The Coach stands on one sider of a goal frame with the ball. The player stands on the other side.

the coach throws the ball over the crossbar to the player, who then heads the ball back over the crossbasr either to or past the coach.

To progress the drill, the coach can increase the distance between themselves and the goal.
