211.4 HEADING RULE
Deliberate or accidental heading is not allowed in 11U and below games. If a player deliberately or accidentally heads the ball in a game, an indirect free kick should be awarded to the opposing team from the spot of the offense.
If the deliberate or accidental header occurs within the goal area, the indirect free kick should be taken on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the nearest point to where the offense occurred. (1) Heading is allowed in games 12U and older without limitations.
For players in 12U and 13U, heading training should be limited to a maximum of 30 minutes per week with no more that 15-20 headers per player, per week. (2) Heading is only allowed by players that have turned 11-years-old. If a 10-year-old is playing in a game, he is not allowed to head the ball, and it is the responsibility of the coaches and club to make sure this is clearly communicated prior to each game.
