u/Del-812

Not sure how to coach this up. Since it’s U10, no heading. When ball is in the heading his way, he will get to a relatively good spot to receive the ball. He isn’t charging it and taking a chest, but a spot where he can get a foot up to get a touch. Since he gets their first, another player gets there at the last second and gets their touch and wins the ball. If my son comes in much more he will be nearing a header height.

It almost seems like it’s an advantage to get to that spot second and simply step in.

Any tips I can share with him?
