The US Soccer Federation has banned children under the age of 10 from heading the ball over fears that it was responsible for the high concussion rates.
The authorities said the restrictions would be in place up to he age of 13.
The decision comes in the wake of a lawsuit brought on behalf of young players by US law firm Hagens Bermen.
A standard protocol following suspected concussions will also be implemented for the first time with potential changes to the substitution rules to follow.
