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 Dummy



1.   Any type of soccer feint or deceptive move.

2.    A “Dummy Soccer Run“.

3.   When a soccer receiver intentionally allows a pass to roll through his legs to a teammate after pretending he was going to receive the pass or kick the ball.


Soccer Decoy Run


(aka “Dummy Run”). See “Soccer Dummy Run“.


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“).
