Fake Pass and Go

Pass Feint

★★☆☆☆ Age 7+ both feet Level 3 · Beat the Defender

You look at a friend and open your foot to pass. Everyone gets ready for the pass. Then you keep it.

Set it up like this. A team mate to one side, someone marking you in front.

Study holds every step and names it. Flow runs them together at speed. Space bar plays and pauses; arrow keys step one frame.

Practise it — Three players

One friend to pass to, one marking. 10 fakes.

Coach says

Your eyes do the lying.

Watch out

  • Never looking up, so there is no fake at all.
  • Opening your foot but not moving your hips.
