[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What program (not club) works on aggressive/possession in 1v1? My son is extremely technical with his footskills but was never taught physical 1v1 soccer which seems to be all anyone cares about these days. He's fine at the level he's at but it's noticable the difference in aggressive 1v1 in games this fall and he just needs direction on his to handle/beat players if he's going to make a top team.

Extremely technical can mean different things to different people. If it means he can make fancy moves with the ball then that is your problem.  Smaller kids have to use what they have to their advantage.  I don't care how small you are, if you have impact on the game you will play.  Period.  You don't need to work on his 1v1 in my view.  You need to work on his game intelligence.  You're trying to put him into physical duels when he is undersized.  That is a disadvantage for him. Work on how to constantly know where the space is and evading defenders as opposed to going at them.  If he is a winger, to the PPs point, maybe that is different.  A small player has to be smarter not stronger.  This starts with scanning at an uncomfortable level to have more field understanding and spatial awareness.  [/quote]
