A genuine revolution in defense of the health of younger footballers. Como today confirms “a new path for the entire Academy regarding heading management, designed to reduce avoidable head impacts, protect the well-being of players, and promote more effective technical development in the long term. The changes reflect a simple idea: protect young players first and foremost, then teach heading in a controlled manner when they are ready.”

And again: “In the younger age groups, the focus will be more on ball contact, decision-making ability, effective play, and a clear path that builds confidence and technique step by step. This approach follows the latest guidelines for youth football, designed to reduce unnecessary exposure to heading in younger categories, gradually introducing this technique as players advance in their growth path.”

Throughout the Academy, Como 1907 will also continue “to carefully manage exposure to heading near matches, asking coaches to avoid unnecessary load of heading drills in the period immediately before and after games.” Raphaël Varane, a member of the Como 1907 Board of Education, stated: “I have spoken several times about the need to take head impacts in football seriously and the absolute importance of protecting our children. For young players, the best approach consists of clear rules, good training, awareness, and a culture where well-being and safety come first. This path reduces unnecessary contact at younger ages, when the brain is still developing, and then teaches the heading technique correctly, step by step, with the right control.”
