through the legs
Under the groin
Through the legs describes a move in sports where the ball or puck is passed, shot, or dribbled between one's own legs or an opponent's legs.
In basketball, a through-the-legs dribble is a crossover that changes hands by bouncing the ball under the body.
In hockey or soccer, putting the puck or ball through a defender's legs is called a nutmeg: He went through the legs and scored.
