1v1 Soccer videos are not designed to teach proper technique.

Instead, take advantage of the resources linked at the end of this post.  These resources are the best of what is out there.  These resources contain professional trainers and skilled players correctly demonstrating (often in slow-motion) the techniques you want to learn.

The purpose of 1v1 Soccer is to show parents how to modify effective soccer instructional resources for home use.  By applying these resources in the myriad of different ways demonstrated on this site, you can help your child win the 1v1 soccer battle.

There are many components to a properly kicking a soccer ball.  If any of these components are executed incorrectly the entire kick breaks down.  Some of these components include:

·         Soccer Hop

·         Load

·         Down Swing

·         Placement Of Plant Foot

·         Shape Of Kicking Leg – V Shape

·         Shape Of Striking Foot

·         Ball Contacting Point

·         Eyes On Ball

·         Body Positioning

·         Shoulder Positioning

·         Impact Point

·         Follow Through

There is a soccer training DVD called Blast The Ball which is included with the Soccer University DVD training series.  Blast The Ball covers nearly every element of a correct soccer kick.  I strongly recommend this purchasing and reviewing this DVD to develop and master the various components of properly kicking a soccer ball. 

An Inside Foot Kick/Pass involves kicking the ball with the inside of your foot.  This is the easiest kick to learn.  

The Inside Foot Ground Kick/Pass is a foundational move and should be mastered at an early age.  It involves using the inside foot to kick the ball along the ground in a specific direction.  This kick offers a high degree of control if executed correctly which is why it is commonly used to pass the ball to a teammate.  This kick demands striking through the center/top of the ball, keeping your shoulders over the ball, and a follow through that stays parallel with the ground.     

The Inside Foot Ground Kick/Pass – Stationary Ball involves learning how to properly kick a ball that is not moving along the ground using the inside foot.  A stationary ball allows you to focus exclusively on learning proper technique rather than worry about additional elements connected to a moving ball. 

The Inside Foot Ground Kick/Pass – Forward Incoming Ball technique involves learning how to use the Inside Foot to properly kick a ball that is moving towards you and keep it on the ground.  This is a fairly common situation in youth soccer. 

The Inside Foot Ground Kick/Pass – Side Incoming Ball/Side Across Body Incoming Ball techniques involve learning how to use the Inside Foot to properly kick a ball along that is moving towards you from the side and keep it on the ground.  Both of these kicks are great finishing moves in front of the goal.
