Why we started

Project 1v1 was built after seeing too many young players being told to “pass the ball” instead of being encouraged to express themselves, take risks and enjoy the game.

At foundation age, we believe players need freedom to dribble, make mistakes, build confidence and develop real comfort on the ball. Without enough touches, creativity and belief can quickly disappear.

Too many young players play with fear instead of freedom. We wanted to create an environment where players are encouraged to be brave, creative and confident while developing a genuine love for football.

Project 1v1 was built to create brave, creative and confident players through high-repetition sessions focused on ball mastery, 1v1 situations, decision making and enjoyment. We want players to play with personality, back themselves in difficult moments and develop the technical foundations needed to thrive long-term in the game.

Our goal isn’t just to develop better footballers — it’s to help young players enjoy the game, express themselves and build confidence both on and off the pitch.
