Self-Serve Aerial Timing and Power Headers

Juggle and launch the ball high into the air, time the descent to attack the ball at the highest point of your vertical jump, and drive an aggressive header into the net or clear zone.

Key points

  • Time your vertical leap to meet the descending ball at peak jump height
  • Keep eyes open tracking the ball directly onto the center of the forehead
  • Snap the neck and snap hips forward to generate decisive clearance power

Common mistakes

Closing eyes, misjudging ball flight, or letting the ball strike the top/crown of the head.
