Is this drill for you?
For novice ballhandlers (Level 2) who can already do a basic crossover and want to fix their footwork on chained combos - no hoop, no partner needed.
Variations: Three combo patterns.
In a game: Chained crossover, behind-the-back and between-the-legs moves are how you shake a defender who sits on your first move - this builds the footwork that keeps the combo balanced.
The combo chains are longer than the Novice label suggests; true beginners may need to split them into pieces.
