- Player B runs forwards; on A's command B turns and heads the ball back.
- Player A holds the ball up, Player B takes a run-up of two to three metres, takes off from one leg and heads against the ball being held up.
- One thrower and one player who runs sideways over mini hurdles and heads the thrown ball back.
- Heading while lying down: Player A lies on the ground on the back with the knees bent. Player B throws the ball at A's stomach height, and A comes up to meet it with the trunk and heads it back.
