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.





A strong 1st Touch means being able to place the ball where you want it after receiving it.  Mastery of 1st Touch includes being in control over two variables when the soccer ball touches your foot. 

Direction – You should be able to guide the ball off your foot in the exact direction you want it to go. 

Weight – This is the pace at which the ball leaves your foot.  You should be able to control how far the ball rolls (1 foot, 3 feet, 5 feet, 10 feet, etc.) in the direction you want it to go. 

The Outside Foot Stationary Touch is a basic and important 1st Touch move.  It involves using the outside of your foot to bring a moving ball to a stop. 

A Forward Touch always means moving the ball towards the goal.  If possible, your 1st Touch of the ball should move the ball towards the opponent’s goal.  Your first thought should be to attack, to advance the ball, to put pressure on the defense. 

An Outside Foot Forward Touch means the ball is moving directly towards you and your 1st Touch sends the ball back in the opposite direction towards your opponent’s goal. 

An Outside Foot Angle Forward Touch means the ball is approaching you at an angle and you use your 1st Touch with the outside foot to send the ball towards your opponent’s goal.  This is a more complicated touch because you must angle your receiving foot properly to get the ball to move in the direction you want it to.
