Double Scissors Feint

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.
