Soccer: Kansas City Legendary 1v1 Moves Training (Ages 5-15)
Soccer games are often decided by a series of 1v1 contests all over the field. The world’s best players both past and present like Ronaldo, Maradona, Johan Cruyff, Zidane and Ronaldinho all had “legendary 1v1 moves” that gave them the EDGE over defenders in 1v1 situations. It’s these moves that separated them from other players and helped them become the best players in the world. Now you can take your game to the next level by learning the very same moves used by the world’s best players. Practicing and perfecting these Legendary 1v1 Moves will give you improved confidence in your game and make you a better team player by giving you the EDGE over your opponent. Sessions are broken down into Tuesday-Power Hour which is fast paced and includes aerobic style fakes, move training and coaching on the technical components of shooting and Thursday 1v1‘s and 2v2’s where coaches encourage kids to use individual skill and quick combination plays. Held on Field B.
60 min. monthly sessions (Resident Cost: $79.00, Non-Resident Cost: $86.00)
