Goals: 8 yds apart
Teams: 6 v 6 (no goalkeepers)
Scoring: Only headed goals can score

Rules:

1. The team in possession can only make progress by using the throw/ head/ catch sequence. No player is allowed to run with the ball whilst in possession.

2. The opposition can only gain possession by intercepting using a header from an opposition throw or a catch from an opposition header.
