[QUOTE="gte447f, post: 986450, member: 4289"] Yes, it’s around age 12. My son plays soccer, and he moves up to the Under12 age group next season, and they will begin heading the ball. I am apprehensive about heading in soccer and the likely effects on the brain, but the soccer community seems intentionally ignorant and misinformed to the point that it seems that they are blatantly ignoring the obvious out of fear that to do otherwise might result in changes to their precious game. That change is also blatantly obvious. Simply remove headers from the game. To the uninitiated, like me, who didn’t grow up playing soccer or as a fan, it seems like an obvious change that needs to be made and it seems like no big deal that wouldn’t change the basic mechanics of the game or the beauty of the game. But, to diehard soccer fans, it would be sacrilege. [/QUOTE]
