A headed pass is a type of football (soccer) pass where the player uses their head to control and strike the ball. This technique involves using the forehead or the top of the head to direct the ball, often in a powerful and accurate manner. Headers are commonly used during corner kicks, free-kicks, and when attempting to score from a cross. The term "headed pass" refers specifically to a situation where one player heads the ball to another player on their team, rather than trying to score directly themselves.
