Youth Soccer Drills: Winning Tactics For Heading The Ball
Forwarding the ball by using the head while the ball is still in the air is an effective method and most of us have never thought about it. This heading skill in youth soccer drills causes no physical harm to the players when it is executed correctly.
When you are about to teach the heading skill to players for the first time, you should do it with a deflated ball. This can be done by letting some air out of the ball so that it shrinks and becomes soft and supple for kids to play. When it comes to kids soccer drills, like always, begin with the basics of heading, some of which I’ll be happy to share with you.
Teach the players to move along the ball in such a way that their body comes directly in front of the ball when they get in contact with it. The players must keep their eyes fixed the ball all the way through, till the time it comes into contact with their forehead.
Make the players aware of the fact that it is of utmost importance for them to keep their eyes open and on the ball when it comes to or goes away from them. If their eyes are closed, they can be hurt. Players in youth soccer practice should learn to strike the ball by using the top-front portion of their forehead rather than using their temples or top of the head.
Majority of the youth soccer drills lay stress on the value of movement necessary to head the ball accurately. Following are the two drills that have been explained for you:
Sitting and Knees: When it comes to youth soccer coaching, this drill uses 2 players and 1 ball. One player should ssit on the ground and have their legs stretched out in the front. The second player should stand in front of the 1st one and throw the ball at a very low level towards him or her. The idea is to throw the ball short so that the one heading it has to move forward to strike the ball.
Keep doing this activity with a player positioned with both knees on the ground. Here, the player will have to lunge forward to strike the ball. This drill is useful in teaching the players to use their head in guiding the ball.
Head out of Hands: You will need cones and a ball for each player in this drill. %SPIN21% They should learn to alternatively move their head to the ball and then bring the ball to their head.
The cones can help the players learn heading to a particular location. The players learn proper handling techniques and accuracy for using the head to redirect the ball.
There you go; using youth soccer drills, the players will head the ball fearlessly thereby making them better competitors. Our youth soccer coaching community has tons of valuable information on youth soccer and you can take advantage of it by enrolling for it.
