A future where football is safe for all, free from avoidable brain damage, and where every player at every level can enjoy the game without risking long term brain disease.
To reduce heading in training and make football safer for every generation.
The HeadSAFE programme
Our internationally acclaimed HeadSAFE programme equips coaches, players and parents with the knowledge to protect brain health in football, through the world's only online HeadSAFE classroom.
Our message is reaching the world
We champion the need to safeguard every player, from the grassroots pitch to national television.
Collaborating across footballing communities
Our tailored programmes address the needs of every level of play, from young children starting out to professional athletes, so all players get the guidance and protection that fits them.
We cover the latest research on heading, best practice for safe play, and how coaches and organisations can put our recommendations into practice, with ongoing support as clubs adapt.
Clubs and groups who take the education and then lead HeadSAFE practice in their own communities. Killingworth FC became our first grassroots Trailblazer, Spennymoor Town our first in the National League.

The average 16 year old grassroots footballer has headed the ball 15,000 times in training and games. Today's young players play more organised football than the players of the sixties and seventies, which makes them more likely to suffer long term brain injury and disease.
