I mean, surely most parents dont need that much convincing.....its to potentially keep their kids safe!? AND how much skill really does it take to stick your head on a ball at u9s? 

Parents- send them the FA info as to WHY - that should be the end of that? 

Kids - ask them what teams/players they like watching and relate how good they are with the ball at their feet VS heading it. 
Less heading means you will get more practice with the ball and get better whilst kids heading it wont....

Cheers Darren. Will try it out!

Might be too late for some who have already made their mind up to leave unfortunately.

My own child doesn't think it's fair that they can't whilst others can in the same age bracket, and i see his point.
