For the 2019-2020 year, US soccer will examine the evidence and conclude that they should push back the age at which heading is permitted to U15.

Goalies, defenders, you name it. Soccer is a contact support. Here's another one for our soccer hating posters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Wwig-Uc8s
And, your favorite and mine: HEADER GOALS; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJEer4ajzEw
Oh yes, the beauty, the skills, this is such amazing soccer. LOVE it!
Puhleez. I don't hate soccer, but those "contact" clips was just bumping and positioning like posting up in basketball. Non-contact doesn't mean no touching in the traditional definition of these types of sports. Sorry if saying soccer is a non-contact sport diminishes your manhood (for lack of a better expression). It was like when people thought helmet-wearing hockey players were lesser players, whimps. Don't let this attitude prevent you from seeing that changes to rules and/equipment *may be* necessary.
I heard you asked to see more header goals, so as a tribute to our lady pros, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KimnGs2JDn0

Knowing what I know today about concussions, CTE and PED, I am steering my kids away from any physical contact sports. It is not worth the risk but that's just me.
Omg, then why in the world are you here? On a soccer forum? Soccer is and always has been a contact sport. Go find a place to be with other like minded souls. Today, there truly is something for everyone. But soccer is NOT for you. Clearly
DP - nitpick here, soccer like basketball is a non-contact sport with incidental contact and some bumping. If taking another player down were legal in soccer, then it would be a contact sport. Football, hockey, rugby, ... those are contact sports.
