Soccer Checking Off

(aka Checking Run and Pull-Return) When a receiver runs away from the 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 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").
