If the coach shouts, "HEAD" - the player must do the opposite and catch the ball.If the coach shouts, "CATCH" - the player must do the opposite and head the ball.The player receives a goal for every successfully performed header or catch. If the player heads the ball it must be headed back to the coaches hands, if they catch the ball he must then throw it back to the coach.
A competition can also be played. When the player makes a mistake they are eliminated and sit on the ground.
