Heads and Volleys Soccer Podcast

Sports EN ↓ 92 episodes

Heads and Volleys is a grassroots Soccer game that reflects the youth soccer environment. The game was played as everyone VS the GK and you could only score with a header or a volley. Simple, right? Wrong. It was complex and fraught with arguments that resulted in 'taking my ball home' or some kind of one-off shot to determine if it was a goal or not. Much like those arguments, this podcast will embrace discussions, trends, and ideas to grow the game, and will not let anyone take their ball home early.
