While technical proficiency is crucial at the highest level, mastering the fundamentals of football is only the first step. In a 1v1 situation, success depends on knowing when and where to apply your technical skills to escape pressure effectively. Our training focuses on helping players develop the creativity and decision-making needed to control their duels, enabling them to dominate with precision and unpredictability.

This is the foundation of our session structure. To dominate the game, players need a solid technical base. At PD1, our Dynamic Ball Mastery program provides players with a powerful, refined, and adaptable skill set. We achieve this through innovative skill combinations, effective footwork patterns, and advanced drills focused on passing, receiving, and striking the ball.

For players at the U9-U10, Foundations of Ball Striking sessions will focus on three fundamental concepts of ball striking within the shooting and finishing moment. Monthly, the session is divided into (3) main components with drills to reinforce muscle memory and consistency in striking: Proper Foot Placement, Power and Placement, and applicable Finishing Situations.

In our Advanced Shooting + Finishing, players at the U11-U15 ages will focus on three advanced concepts of mastering the consistency in placement and accuracy, types of powerful shots, long and short range finishing opportunities and real game situations. The course is divided into (3) different sessions with new drills weekly to reinforce concepts that will directly enhance their ability for more accurate shots on goals within games.

This intensive course is designed to develop key defensive skills for players looking to improve their individual defending and overall defensive awareness. Through a combination of drills, tactical lessons, and situational practices, players will gain the tools to defend with confidence, composure, and effectiveness, whether 1v1 or in team defensive setups. The course focuses on building strong fundamentals, improving positioning, and developing the mental skills needed to control the defensive third of the field.

While there are times in a player’s career, usually beginning at older ages or higher level league play, for 1:1 training, at PD1 Soccer Training, we recommend always training with a partner. We offer semi-private training packages that range from partner practice up to a 1:4 ratio.
