Pitch: Four cones mark the positions; plus one full-size goal.
Equipment: 4 cones, 1 goal and one ball per player.
Players: Two groups lining up to the left and right of the goal; plus one goalkeeper.
Procedure
- Group A starts: the first player stands diagonally to the group at the cone and is served with a lobbed throw.
- This player heads the ball straight at goal.
- Group B then takes its turn.
- Play continues until a target is reached — for example: which team is first to score ten goals?
Tip
- Meet the ball with the large surface of the forehead.
- Build up an arched body tension.
- Make a diagonal run in.
- Vary the type of header: from a planted step, after a jump or as a diving header; also vary the distance and the angle to the goal.
