It is no secret that one of the most important situation during a soccer game is the 1 v. 1 matchup. During the course of a game, attackers have to decide whether to beat an opponent by dribbling past him or her, or passing the ball, while defenders try to prevent opponent to get near the goal and score.
To be effective in the 1v1 situation each player must have a good overall technical and tactical understanding. In many cases the outcome of a game is a direct result of the various 1v1 opportunities the team is able to win.
Coaching youth soccer should emphasis the 1v1, the basic skills of control and passing. As kids get older, progress to team play and organization should be including.
Creating a winning team takes time, effort, patience and skill.
