About Header Rally

Header Rally is one-finger head tennis. You stand behind your player at one end of a small court with a low net, your rival waits at the other end, and the ball loops towards you. Slide under it and the header happens on its own. Where the ball meets your head decides where it goes: the middle sends it straight back, the edge of your head cuts it into the corner.

Points work like table tennis: first to 7, win by 2. Beat 15 opponents across a park, a training centre and a packed arena, each with a style of their own, from gentle lobs to big smashes and curving spin. HARD and SUPER HARD matches pay double and triple cash, and Rally mode asks how many headers in a row you can keep against the wall.

How to play

  1. Drag left and right (and a little up and down) to get under the ball. Its shadow shows where it is going.
  2. The header is automatic. Hit the ball with the edge of your head to send it into a corner.
  3. Arrive early and stand still under the ball to charge a chest trap and volley.
  4. Swipe up fast, or tap DIVE, for a diving header when the ball is out of reach.
  5. Win the rally when your rival cannot reach your shot. First to 7, win by 2.

Frequently asked questions

Is Header Rally free?

Yes. Every match can be won without spending coins. Coins are optional.

How do I aim my headers?

Where the ball meets your head decides the angle. Stay a little to the side of the ball to cut it into the far corner, or get right under it for a safe return.

What are HARD and SUPER HARD levels?

Every 5th level is HARD and pays 2x cash, every 10th is SUPER HARD and pays 3x. The level after each one is a little easier.

How do the volley and the diving header work?

Stand still under an incoming ball until the gold ring fills and you chest-trap it and volley it hard. Swipe up quickly or tap DIVE to throw yourself at a ball that is out of reach.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. It plays in portrait and landscape with one finger, and with a mouse or keyboard on desktop.
