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.

Kicking / Passing

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.     

1^st Touch

A Forward Touch always means moving the ball towards the goal.  If possible, your 1^st 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 Inside Foot Angle Forward Touch means the ball is approaching you at an angle and you use your 1^st Touch 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. 


Dribbling
Chop Dribbling involves quick, choppy steps and touching the ball with every step.  This is the most controlled type of dribbling and is usually utilized in a crowded area of the field while still allowing you to move the ball forward.

Controlled Dribbling involves moving the ball down the field as quickly as possible while using the same foot to touch the ball every stride.  The part of the foot that touches the ball – laces, inside foot, outside foot – is irrelevant.  The idea is to get the same foot on the ball in whatever way is most appropriate.  Controlled Dribbling provides a nice balance of speed and control.

MOVE #131-#133 – KICKING/PASSING/1^ST TOUCH/DRIBBLING

++++++++++

The best thing a developing soccer player can do is develop dominant ball skills needed to master the 1v1 (one verses one) game.

This means getting thousands of touches on the ball to develop deep comfort and control with all parts of the body and feet.  This also means mastering specific skills to keep the ball away from an opponent, move the ball around an opponent, and take the ball away from an opponent.  As a player grows up, dominant ball skills provide the best foundation for developing dominant passing skills.

Younger players can work through each move and skip those which are too difficult.  Older players can work through each move and spend time mastering those which are weak or missing from their game.

Move #131-#132 – Kicking / Passing / 1^st Touch / Dribbling  

Mastering the techniques below will provide a nice foundation for developing an effective and attacking 2v1 passing game (wall passes, overlaps, diagonal runs, through balls, etc.). 

So often in youth soccer (and even higher levels) players on the attack pass directly to a teammate (a target).  But to be effective on the attack, it is necessary to pass into space in front of a teammate.  It is necessary to pass at the right pace and with the right lead so a teammate can sprint on to the ball. 

The moves below utilize the Outside Foot Ground Pass and layer in Movement, Dribbling, and 1^st Touch.  The ability to make and receive a pass while moving is a vital skill to move the ball quickly and efficiently down the field.
