1v1 Offense & Defense

The 1v1 Offense & Defense class teaches players how to master every 1v1 situation in the game. This class simulates 1v1 situations with pressure from any possible direction and teaches players how to make the best decisions in each game situation.

This class is great for BOTH attacking and defensive players! The coaches explain each 1v1 situation from both sides of the ball and help improve both attackers as well as defenders making successful decisions in the game. By focusing on both the offensive as well as defensive skills players become multi-dimensional with an insight in how their opponents will react in any given game situation.
