Power Heading Drill

Using the same three-player triangle setup, players adopt a side-on stance, arch the spine, engage neck muscles, and forcefully snap forward through the ball like a dart to generate maximum return velocity back to the partner.

Key points

  • Adopt a side-on athletic posture rather than facing square to the ball
  • Arch the back on the ball's approach to load rotational and core power
  • Snap forward aggressively through the ball using the neck and upper body
  • Aim downward into the hands of the server like a dart rather than looping it upward

Common mistakes

Heading completely square-on without spinal arching, causing weak or looping headers.
