24hr Coaching

This practice will improve attacking and defensive "heading" techniques. This can also be used as a fun warm up activity with your team.

Coaching Pointers:
Divide the team into two groups. Identify groups by using colored bibs. The object of the game is for a team to score with a “header”. The team in possession can only advance up the field in using this sequence “Throw, Head and then Catch”. Players cannot run with the ball. Opposing team can only intercept a throw with a header and a header with a catch.

Focus On:
Good support movement off the ball.
Quality heading techniques. Heading to pass, heading to score.

Progression:
Head ball from hands and catch.
Volley ball from hands and catch.
Must score with a volley.
Diving headers worth 3 goals.
Double headers worth 5 goals.
