Question

Explain the term heading in football.

Answer 1

The heading is a football technique that is used in association football to control the ball using the head to pass, shoot or clear. The heading is an essential skill in football. A player hits the ball with their head to move it in a certain direction. They may head the ball towards another player, across the field, or into the opponent's goal. This can be done by standing, jumping or driving position.

It is crucial for defensive players to clear balls from the back, midfielders to win critical battles in the middle of the field, and attackers to nod a ball past the opposing keeper to score a goal.
