Introduction
The main content of the skill based course is to address

the four 1v1 situations that arise continually in every
game. Coaches will also learn to focus on where and
when the moves and turns can successfully be executed.
In modern day football with its extremely fast pace, tight
spaces and evenly matched teams the importance of
1v1 play cannot be overstated. Players who can dominate
the 1v1 situations can make a difference to any game
at any time.
More than ever it is imperative that we address the

importance of creating more skilfully exciting players with
quality technical ability. Players who can light up our
game.
We must lay the foundations at grassroots level to
establish a system so that every youngster in the current
and next generation of football in our country is given
the chance to learn about improving their individual skills
and techniques. Show them moves and turns, skills that
have been and are being used by some of the worlds
greatest players (Past and present).
Four 1v1 situations - where it begins to make a difference;

1. 1v1 Side by Side - change of direction moves
2. 1v1 Face to Face - Moves to beat opponent
3. 1v1 Diagonal Attack - Cuts and drag backs
4. 1v1 Back to Goal - Spins and turns
The lack of individual skill development coaches and the

fact that youngsters do not spend as many hours
practicing is having a detrimental effect throughout our
game from grassroots to professional.
All the above situations will be comprehensively covered

and explained step by step, where and when to execute
the specific moves will also be continually reinforced.
We must educate our young players to become more

creative so they are confident and comfortable when in
possession of the ball. We must develop flair players
who are attack minded and give them the freedom to
express themselves effectively in any game situation
that they may encounter, especially when confronted
with a 1v1 situation.
Football Homework
Homework sheets have been specifically designed for
each move and is an integral part of young players
education and development out with regular sessions.
The resource is to support and encourage young players
to practise on their own. The homework is fun and can
be monitored to gauge the improvements and progression
of their technique, speed and touch with both feet.
After patience, encouragements and realistic practices,
young players will ultimately perform the moves
spontaneously in games and will begin to be more creative
and play more attractive, exciting attacking football.
If we care about football this is a challenge we all now
face to ensure the young players of today fulfil their
potential to be the stars of tomorrow.
The more successful clubs and countries in the world

are the ones that dominate in 1v1 situations.
Consequently, technical and tactical skill in 1v1 play is
the foundation for success at every level.
If players miss out on creative technical development
they will continue to play predictable football
throughout their lives. Coaches who forbid players
to take the initiative with the ball do not assist in
improving the players technical ability.
Football is a game of skill, imagination, creativity
and decision making. Coaching should not stifle but
enhance those elements.
(Arsene Wenger, Manager Arsenal Football Club)
With this in mind the Scottish FA East Region have
set up a comprehensive skill based course to support
and educate local coaches. We need more dedicated
coaches to specialise in delivering the moves and turns
to their individual players. We owe it to our young players
to give them the best start possible. Thus, the aim of
the course is to introduce skill development coaches at
every club and provide the coaches with a sound
knowledge of many skills which they can teach and
introduce into their regular sessions. All coaches will be
supported with a series of handouts throughout the
duration of the course.
As a kid they teach you not to play to win but to

grow in ability as a player. At Barcelona we trained
every day with a ball and I hardly ever ran without
a ball at my feet.

East Region
Four 1v1 Situations
1v1 Side by Side

Inside & outside foot cut
Step over & spin
The player in possession is being
tracked by an opponent by their side.
Stop turn
By using a change of direction move

this will allow the player to create more
space to pass, shoot or dribble.
Fake kick & Turn

Outside foot spin
Fake sole stop
1v1 Diagonal Attack

Drag back
The player in possession is driving

forward with an opponent coming in
diagonally from the side.
Twist off
By using the moves in this section this

will allow the player to cut the ball away
from opponent into space.
Drag back & pass behind standing leg

Flick behind standing leg
1v1 Face to Face

Scissors
Step over
Generally the player in possession is

directly attacking an opponent.
Side step
By using a move to beat an opponent

this will allow the player to create space
and to get past defenders to make
passing and shooting opportunities.
Inside outside foot

Sole drag
1v1 Back to Goal

Heel raise
The player receiving the ball with their

back to goal has a defender close
behind.

Players meet each other in centre
and practice inside and outside cuts
with both feet.
Skill Practice 3
Players dribble into centre marker at
the same time to perform the outside
left foot cut and dribble to the marker
on the left.
Variation - Outside right foot cut,
inside left foot cut, outside right foot
cut
Coaching Points:
Exaggerate upper body movement to unbalance opponent.

Keep body low to shield the ball and retain good balance.
Keep the ball on safe side furthest from opponent.
Immediately after turning accelerate out of the move.
Skill Practice 4
Players dribble forward being tracked by
a defender, just before they reach the
second marker they perform an inside or
outside cut and dribble back to the start.
Players then exchange places.

Finishing on Goal
Attacking player drives

tracked by an opponent.
Approximately halfway
across the attacking player
performs an inside or
outside foot cut to change
direction. This will then
create space for the attacker
to drive forward and attack
either the right or left
marker. On reaching the
marker the player is closed
down quickly by a defender.

When faced with this 1v1

situation the attacker cuts the ball to create space and finishes on goal.
Variation - Play 1-2 passes with defender before attacking the marker.
This will improve speed and attackers first touch. Add a goalkeeper.
WHERE & WHEN the move can be best executed:

STRIKER When driving into the box and being challenged by a defender from the side use the inside or outside foot
cut to create space for shot at goal.
MIDFIELDER When driving forward in a central midfield position and being closed down by an opponent, cut the ball
back to change direction. This will create space for a wide pass to continue attacking.
DEFENDER Running back towards your own goal with an opponent tracking you from the side, change direction quickly
using the move to cut the ball away from the opponent. This will allow more space and time to distribute the ball.
East Region
Top Tips:
Rotation - Attacker and tracking player change places. Change defender

after a few practices.
Players must be aware of the various situations on the park.

and spin move. This would allow the player time and space to switch the play to wide players or pass into strikers.
DEFENDER A full back in possession running back towards their own goal in a wide area and under pressure from
an opponent, rather than pass back to the goalkeeper performing the step over and spin move will create time and space
to start up a new attack.

Both players drive towards the centre marker and perform the left foot

challenged from the side by a defender. Both players perform the right
foot drag back allowing them to create space to beat the incoming
defender before finishing on goal. Attacking players join the opposite
group to repeat the practice.

STRIKER When driving forward into the box and being challenged diagonally from the side, using the drag back will
allow the player to create space to beat the defender, creating an opportunity to finish on goal.
MIDFIELDER When dribbling forward in a midfield position and being challenged diagonally from the side, quickly
performing the drag back move will allow the player to create space for a pass into the striker or switch play to a wide
player.
DEFENDER When in possession of the ball outside the penalty box and facing away from your own goal, the drag
back move would be a good option when being challenged diagonally from the side. The move would allow the player
