FA advises coaches not to train children in heading but denies blanket ban
"There's lots of myths out there. This is not a ban on heading. This is about guidance to support our volunteer coaches."

With the health concerns raised in relation to heading the ball I wonder why football doesn’t just introduce compulsory head wear to try and provide a level of protection?
Sure they kinda look like they’re wearing condoms on their heads but sure kit suppliers can provide snazzy ones as part of the kits and if everyone is wearing them they won’t look and feel quite so silly lol.
I‘d certainly prefer my head protected then take risks of ill health due to it later in life.
Plus you do get some very nasty clashes of heads sometimes.
