Objective

Execute a double scissors feint to unbalance a defender before accelerating.

Equipment

  • ball
  • cones

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set up a defender cone 3 yards ahead.

  2. 2

    Approach at moderate pace and swing right foot over the ball (first scissors).

  3. 3

    Immediately swing left foot over the ball (second scissors).

  4. 4

    Push the ball to the side with the outside of your dominant foot and accelerate.

  5. 5

    Repeat 10 times each side.

Coaching Points

  • Keep your body low — upright posture kills the feint.
  • Sell the first scissors with shoulder movement.
  • The acceleration after the second scissors is what beats the defender.

Variations

  • Add a real passive defender after the player masters the footwork.
