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 primary goal for an advanced soccer player should be developing the ability to take a ball out of the air and bring it down to the ground as quickly as possible.  Soccer is best played on the ground - this is where you have the most control and where you can move the fastest with the ball.

Effectively dealing with a ball in the air has two components.  First, you want to gain control of the ball.  Second, you want to bring it to the ground. 

The process of gaining control of an air ball is called a Trap.   

A Laces Close Distance Trap involves using your laces to gain control of a low air ball.

An Inside Foot Close Distance Trap involves using your inside foot to gain control of a low air ball.

An Outside Foot Close Distance Trap involves using your outside foot to gain control of a low air ball.

A Thigh Close Distance Trap involves using your thigh to gain control of a low air ball.

A Chest Close Distance Trap involves using your chest to gain control of a low air ball.

The technique needed to effectively execute an Inside/Outside Foot, Laces, or Thigh Trap is difficult to learn. 

In addition, the technique needed to effectively execute a Chest Trap is completely different than what is taught by most coaches, trainers, and academies. 

The only training resource I am aware of which properly teaches how to Trap a soccer ball is the Soccer University DVD’s (bottom of page).     

The ability to control air balls and bouncing balls is a huge advantage.  These techniques are worth investing the time to master.
