Heading



As you jump, generate power by:
  • bending the knees
  • arching the back
  • thrusting your head and body forward on contact
  • keeping your neck muscles tensed

    Use your arms for balance as you will be off the ground for many of the headers.

    Be careful not to raise them too high or wave them around, as you are likely to be penalised by the referee.
