My name is Glen and I want to show you a little game for heading. There's not a lot of really fun games for heading. I like this one because it gets the players involved and have a little fun as they are doing it. They are going to try to head the ball back to the line and we are going to see which team can get it back the furtherst. Okay, are we ready. Let's go. Get the ball away; almost. Four headers there; not bad, not bad. Oh, when we start laughing we got almost all the way there. Good job! Heading is an activity you don't want to do too long especially with a younger player but you do want to make sure they are comfortable with it and make sure it is not something that they are not afraid of because it is a very important part of the game.
