Soccer Show
When a receiver makes it obvious to the ballhandler that he is open for the pass or when the passer makes it obvious to the receiver that he wants to pass to him. The passer can do this by looking at the receiver or going toward him or by turning toward him. Three ways the receiver can to do this are to come back toward the ball, by “checking off”, or by turning toward the ballhandler in a “ready” stance. (See “Checking Off” & “Target Player“).
Soccer Pull
See “Checking Off“, “Hooking Run” and “Show“.
Soccer Hooking Run
(aka Pull-Series). When a receiver runs toward the ballhandler & then quickly reverses & runs away from the ballhandler. The reverse of “checking off”. (See “Checking Off“, “Dummy Run” & “Show“).
Soccer Dummy Run
(aka “Decoy Run”). A run intended to distract defenders or to draw them away from the area you plan to attack in order to “create space” for a teammate. (See “Soccer – Overlap“, “Checking Off in Soccer“, “Hooking Run in Soccer“, “Diagonal Run” & “Soccer Crossover Run“).
Soccer Combination Play
When attacking soccer players work together to execute a soccer play. Examples are a “Give & Go“, an “Overlapping Run“, a “Takeover“, a “Hooking Run” and “Checking Off“.
Soccer Checking Off
(aka Checking Run and Pull-Return) When a soccer receiver runs away from the soccer ballhandler but then quickly runs back toward the ballhandler. The idea is to draw the defender away from the ballhandler to create an open space that the soccer receiver can then run back into in hopes of being open for a pass. (i.e., the first run was a “dummy run”). The opposite of a “hooking run”. (See “Hooking Run“, “Show“, “Third Man Running“, “Movement Off-The-Ball” & “Creating Space“).
