Is this drill for you?
For intermediate ballhandlers (Level 3) attacking and retreating - BTL, crossover, and behind-the-back drives to each elbow and back.
The ladder: BTL attack-retreat first, then crossover, then behind-the-back - three trips to each elbow.
Variations: Attack both elbows on every move.
In a game: The retreat dribble re-reads the defense - attack, back out, and the gap has moved.
15 minutes; needs markers.
