A recommended limit of 10 high-force headers per week in training was also introduced into professional football and the adult grassroots game before the start of last season.
The application for trial is part of the FA's attempts to mitigate against any potential risks of heading a ball, at a time when research is continuing into the possibility of a link between repeated heading of a ball and neurodegenerative disease."It represents a cautious approach to playing and enjoying football whilst ongoing research continues in this area," an FA statement read.
Dawn Astle, the project lead for neurodegenerative diseases in football at the Professional Footballers' Association, welcomed the trial."The proposed new trial to extend the heading guidelines already in place for training to matches is a logical and sensible step.This obligation includes youth football but also applies to care of players in the elite professional game.
"Going into the 2022-23 season, all professional clubs must incorporate the appropriate heading guidelines into their training regimes. Their responsibility extends to their youth, women's and men's teams."
Unless every country in the World (of football) does this, then England will just fall further behind in rankings.
