Team soccer is exciting, but for many kids, team practice isn’t enough to reach their full potential. Coaches often focus on the group, leaving limited time for personalized feedback. Shy or less confident kids can easily “hide” in team drills, while more advanced players may feel held back.
That’s why 1-on-1 soccer training has become a game-changer for young athletes.
At ProEdge Soccer in San Jose, private sessions accelerate skill development, boost confidence, and give players a real edge on the field.
The limitations of team practice
While team training teaches tactics and teamwork, it often lacks individualized attention:
-
Limited touches: Players may only touch the ball a few meaningful times per session.
-
Generic drills: Not tailored to each child’s strengths and weaknesses.
-
Shy players struggle: Kids who are less confident may not ask for help or get noticed.
Benefits of 1-on-1 training
1-on-1 soccer lessons solve these problems by focusing entirely on the child.
-
Personalized attention: Coaches can address mistakes in real-time, building better habits faster.
-
Targeted skill development: Weak foot, passing, shooting, and first touch can all be improved efficiently.
-
Confidence boost: Seeing tangible progress motivates kids to work harder and enjoy the game more.
-
Game impact: Parents notice improvements immediately - smoother touches, smarter decisions, and more consistent performance during matches.
Who benefits most
1-on-1 training is ideal for:
-
Beginners who need foundational skills

Shy or hesitant kids who need confidence
