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

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. 

A Laces (Straight) Kick/Pass involves kicking the ball with the laces.  It also involves moving directly towards the ball rather than approaching from an angle.       

The Laces Ground Kick/Pass involves moving directly towards the ball (rather than at an angle) and using the laces to kick the ball along the ground in a specific direction.  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 Laces Ground Kick/Pass – Stationary Ball involves learning how to properly kick a ball that is not moving along the ground using the laces and moving directly towards the ball (rather than at an angle).  A stationary ball allows you to focus exclusively on learning proper technique rather than worry about additional elements connected to a moving ball. 

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

The Laces Low Driving Air Kick/Pass involves moving directly towards the ball (rather than at an angle) and using the Laces to kick a low driving ball in air in a specific direction.  This kick demands striking through the center of the ball, opening up your shoulders a bit, and a normal follow through.

A Laces Low Driving Air Pass/Kick – Stationary Ball involves learning how to properly kick a ball that is not moving in the air with power using the Laces and moving directly towards the ball (rather than at an angle).  A stationary ball allows you to focus exclusively on learning proper technique rather than worry about additional elements connected to a moving ball. 

The Laces Low Driving Air Kick/Pass – Forward Approaching Ball technique involves learning how to use the Laces to properly kick a ball that is moving directly towards you and drive it with power in the air. 


Dribbling
Mastering dribbling is beneficial because it allows you to move the ball into the best location on the field to execute the kicks and passes listed above. 

There are four foundational types of dribbling which must be mastered.  These types of dribbling include Speed Dribbling, Chop Dribbling, Controlled Dribbling, and Fast Dribbling.
