10th grade was just heading the ball. We could not identify a specific event. Just know I headed some high flying balls that stunned me. Should have chest trapped them.

It is easy to outlaw high kicks. "No kicks above the mid chest if an opponent is within 10 feet. No bicycle kicks." Soccer players are not learning to trap the ball.

My granddaughter plays as a striker for her age group and a second team that is the next older age group and leads in scoring in both. Her soccer scares the .....out of me. Calif and US Soccer restricts heading but she is aging up into the heading allowed age. Heading should not be allowed until after 14.
