You can use your head to trap a high ball or to move the ball toward the net or even score. When heading the ball keep your eyes on the ball and use your forehead not the top of your head. A lot of the power used to head the ball comes from using your trunk and hips. Your timing is important. Your jump must be timed exactly right.
Good timing comes from practice.
Trapping Trapping is stopping the ball's motion and getting it under your control so you can pass or dribble it. A squeeze trap is when you trap the ball with either the sole of your shoe or the inside of your foot. You face the direction the ball is coming from and as the ball rolls toward you or is about to touch down, you lift your foot and trap the ball firmly against the ground. You can trap the ball with your instep, shin, thigh, chest, or head depending on how far off the ground the ball is when it gets to you. Dribbling Kicking the ball gently and keeping it close to you and under your control while running down the field is called dribbling.
