lateral shuffle
Side-to-side movement
A lateral shuffle is a side-to-side movement where the feet never cross, used in sports and fitness training.
Athletes shuffle laterally to maintain defensive stance in basketball, tennis, or football, staying low with knees bent: The cornerback matched the receiver's lateral shuffle at the line.
The movement emphasizes quick direction changes while keeping hips square to the opponent.
