I thought that headers had been banned for a few years already in U15 or so and under due to brain injury risks from kids' skulls not being fully developed.

I have no idea what the drop kick ban is for and would be curious why if anyone knows. In my kids' league, once the GK secures the ball, all defenders are forced to back up anyway so there's no risk to kicking an opposing player.

A "drop-kick" is just a different way for goalies to punt a ball.
They drop it, let the ball hit the ground, and kick it off the bounce. You'll see it only every now and then.
