British youth soccer players will no longer be allowed to head the ball in practice, according to new safety guidelines for kids aged 11 and under.
And even after they leave primary school, headers "will remain a low priority when compared to other technical aspects of the game."
The new guidelines are in direct response to a 2019 study that found former pro soccer players were 3.5 times more likely to die of dementia compared with a control sample, and five times more likely to die of Parkinson's.
