PC gone mad. Dementia was caused by heading the old school leather footballs used in the 60’s and 70’s. Modern footballs are perfectly safe.
My son plays under 14 and plays either central defender or full back. He will easily have five or six headers a game. Everything from a deflected shot that ends up in the air with no power to a full blown shot that he would have no hesitation in heading away. As for some of his team mates they would run back about 15 yards for the ball to drop.
I think it could benefit young players if they just learn to play to feet,give and goes, get them into a good passing game,so much more entertaining,thedays of the big punt up the park are gone I think.Yes absolutely, we should be playing futsal up to young teens anyway. Our whole game needs ripped up and start a fresh...what have we got to lose?
As for heading from a technical and also health perspective 100% it should be scrapped
Not close to being correct.No.
If anything it will be worse when they step up they wont have the technique or neck muscles to head the ball safely
Yes, get them up the chimney when the little shites come home from the pits.Would only make the snow flake generation worse
Not close to being correct.
I just had to double check I thought I had logged into mumsnet instead of FF
