From the February 28, 2007, issue of The Technical Area

Purpose: To practice defensive heading and scoring.
Procedure: Two players stand on either side of a middle zone. A third player stands inside the middle zone. Cones are placed centrally to make a goal. The wide of the middle zone and the size of the goals can be adjusted to meet the ability of the player. The objective is for Player 1 and Player 2 to head the ball over Player 3 to practice defensive heading. Players 1 and 2 can also head the ball down and through the cones to practice scoring. For scoring, Player 1 tosses the ball over Player 3 for Player 2 to head through the goal. Score a point for each successful goal or defensive head. Players then rotate, and Player 3 tosses for Player 1.
