SCORPIONKICK

scorpion kick

Noun

  1. A rare type of kick in association football where the player dives headlong so his body flies parallel to the ground in a prone position and quickly flexes his lower legs backward at the knee, so they resemble a scorpion's upright tail, to kick a football passing towards his heels, returning it in the direction it came.
