How to Flick a Soccer Ball With Your Head

Create havoc in front of the goal or keep an offensive surge alive with a simple head flick.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Soccer Balls
• Soccer balls

1. Know where your teammates are behind you before the ball gets to you.

2. Adjust to the height of the ball. The flick tends to be more effective if you head the ball standing upright or by jumping to reach it.

3. Allow the ball to graze off your head.

4. Avoid making too much contact with the ball. Ideally, you want the ball to skim rather than bounce.

5. Turn and face the direction you played the ball. You never know if the ball is going to be knocked right back to you.

Tips & Warnings

• Timing is essential to performing the flick.
• Any actual movement of your neck ought to be kept to a minimum when you flick the ball.
• Flick the ball when you're out of position to make a good header.
• If you have any condition which would impair or limit your ability to engage in physical activity, please consult a physician before attempting this activity.
