Lesson 15:
Heading On Goal From a Cross
view description
- Objective
  
  To be able to time a run to meet a cross coming in at game speed and direct it into the side of the goal.
  
  Coaching Points
  
  Keeping an eye on the ball and using the forehead, get over the ball by jumping and using the arms to generate height. Lean back as the ball comes in and open the body from the waist and shoulders to rotate the head toward where the ball is being glanced. Use the speed of the ball to re-direct it. Time the run to meet the ball at the correct moment.
  
  Problems to Watch Out For
  
  Players will arrive too early into heading position and will end up stationary when heading the ball.
  
  Why This Works
  
  This drill is performed at game speed with delivery from an actual cross.
