1 V 1

Our Game: 1v1 Football

At Super Skills, we primarily play 1 v 1 Football… And everyone loves it!
1v1 is the ultimate test of your football skills, stamina, and agility.
We have our own set of rules for the game and have been organising 1 v 1 Football tournaments for all age groups since starting Super Skills!
The Super Skills Junior 1 v 1 Championships are held twice a year.
Upcoming tournaments will appear below on this page.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT

There are up to 24 spaces in each age category. Book your place in the tournament early to avoid disappointment.
To book, ask us for an invitation card at your next session, complete it and pay the entry fee.
Time – Each match lasts for 3 minutes. Every player will play a minimum of 3 matches during the initial group stage of the tournament.
Group stages – Each player will play against all the other players in their group. 3 points are awarded for a win, 1 point for a draw. In the case of two players joint for a qualification place, the qualifying player will be determined by the the following in order until settled – a) Goal Difference b) Goals Scored c) Head to Head result d) 1 minute Speed Goal e) Penalty Shootout
Knockout stages – Top players in each group will advance to the knockout stages of the tournament, which starts from the Quarter Finals. Winners of the Quarter Finals will advance to the Semi Finals. The winners of the Semi Finals will ultimately compete for the Championship. In the case of a draw at the end of 3 minutes during the knockout matches, an additional minute will be played where the first player to score will win the match. In the case of nobody scoring during the additional minute, the match will go into a penalty shootout, where players will take it in turn to shoot at the goal. Players get 2 shots, 1 with each foot. If the score is still level, the shootout goes into sudden death where players take 1 more shot each (alternating their shooting foot each time).
Prizes – Every participant will receive a participation certificate. Trophies and prizes will be awarded to the winners and runner ups of each age group.

RULES

1 v 1 Football is played on a 8m x 15m court with a set of cones on either end used as “goals”. A goal is scored by hitting at least one of the opposing player’s cones with the ball. All the rules of the regular game apply, except slide-tackling, which is considered a foul.
1 v 1 Soccer promotes self empowerment and self reliance, and is about creativity as much as ball control.

LAWS OF THE GAME

Law 1: Goal
A goal is scored if the ball touches any one of the cones. It is not necessary to hit all of the cones, nor is it necessary to knock the cone over.

Law 2: Scoring Area
A goal can only be scored from within the defending player’s half of the field or a designated line within this half.

Law 3: Fouls
Any foul committed at any time, anywhere on the pitch, results in a penalty kick. Slide tackling is considered a foul.

Law 4: Penalty Kick
A penalty kick is taken as a free shot at the cones with the ball placed on the point designated by the referee, often the cross ‘T’ point closest to the goal, marked on a badminton court.

Law 5: Out of Bounds
The ball is started at the point of exit or anywhere behind that point by dribbling into the field of play. Once the ball enters the field from this point, play resumes and the game is ‘live’.

Law 6: Time Limit
Matches are between 3-5 minutes long, as agreed to before the match starts. Matches are started and ended by the sound of the buzzer/horn.

Law 7: Draw/Tie
In the event of a draw (tied score) at the end of regulation time, the players share the points equally. If a winner must be decided in the case of knockout stages, the match goes on for an additional minute of GoldenGoal where the next goal scored ends the match and the goal-scorer is declared the winner. If scores are still level after an additional minute, the match goes into a penalty shootout, where players take it in turns to take a penalty kick until one of them misses. Penalty kicks must be taken with alternating feet. I.e – If the first shot is taken with the right foot, your next shot must be taken with your left foot, and so on.

Law 8: Age
Each player will play in their age group/school year group.

Law 9: Referees
All decisions are made at the referee’s discretion and the referee’s decisions are final.

Law10: Sportsmanship
All players are expected to maintain the highest standards of sportsmanship, competition and self-discipline. If a player loses emotional/social control and behave in a manner inconsistent with the Super Skills culture, then the player will be removed from the tournament.
