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 1^st Touch means being able to place the ball where you want it after receiving it.  Mastery of 1^st 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. 

A Side Touch always means moving the ball either towards your left or your right.  The purpose of the Side Touch is to move the ball into an open area of the field.

An Inside Foot Across Body Side Touch involves moving an incoming ball across your body using the inside foot.  This touch provides maximum control, but is the slowest of the three side touches to execute.   

An Inside Foot Away From Body Side Touch involves moving an incoming ball away from your body using the inside foot.  This touch also provides maximum control and can be executed more quickly. 

An Outside Foot Away From Body Side Touch involves moving an incoming ball away from your body using the outside foot.  This touch can be completed more quickly than the other side touches, but provides the least control.
