Como 1907 has announced a new protocol for its Academy aimed at reducing head impacts among young footballers. The decision concerns the club's youth sector and involves, in the youngest age groups, a restriction on heading during training sessions, with a gradual introduction of the technique as players grow older.

According to the club's communication, the goal is to reduce unnecessary exposure to heading in the youngest categories, protect players' well-being and promote progressive technical development. In the lower age groups, the focus will be on ball contact, decision-making skills and actual play, building confidence and technique step by step.

Como 1907 also stated that it will continue to carefully manage heading exposure around match days, asking coaches to avoid unnecessary heading drills in the period immediately before and after games.

Raphaël Varane, a member of Como 1907's Board of Education, stated that the best approach for young players consists of clear rules, good training and awareness, in a culture where well-being and safety come first. Varane emphasized that the pathway reduces unnecessary contacts in the youngest age groups, when the brain is still developing, before teaching heading technique correctly and in a controlled manner.

The initiative follows recent youth football guidelines oriented toward reducing heading exposure in the youngest categories.
