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

After taking a ball out of the air using any of a variety of body parts, the ball typically takes a bounce in front of you or beside you.  Kicking a ball out of the air (bouncing or otherwise) is a Volley.   

A Volley involves striking through the center of the ball, keeping your shoulders over the ball, and a follow through that stays parallel with the ground.      

A Laces Medium Distance Trap + Volley involves using your laces to gain control of a ball that is high in the air coming from a medium distance away and then striking the ball out of the air or off the bounce.

An Inside Foot Medium Distance Trap + Volley involves using your inside foot to gain control of a ball that is high in the air coming from a medium distance away and then striking the ball out of the air or off the bounce.

An Outside Foot Medium Distance Trap + Volley involves using your outside foot to gain control of a ball that is high in the air coming from a medium distance away and then striking the ball out of the air or off the bounce.

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

Trapping an air ball that is high in the air and coming from a long distance away (medium/long distance trap) is especially difficult. 

The only training resource I am aware of which properly teaches these Traps is the Soccer University DVD’s (bottom of page).     

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