Quoted from Rick12
Yes .I remember in school having PE lessons and playing for the school team. Pe teachers never use to tell us how to head the ball. And yes it did hurt .



If you watch kids at around under 12 playing Rick, it is quite frightening how many you will see standing still, fists clenched and eyes tight shut just letting the ball hit them on the head. Sometimes it works but sometimes from a high ball it comes down on top of their skull ........ and that hurts. ....... and it does damage.

Heading a ball in football should always be allowed. How many millions of people who have never headed a ball get dementia. Its more the fact people including footballers are living longer and unfortunately dementia is often prevalent in the elderly.
If they do decide to ban heading then they would have to just ban the game
