Is this drill for you?
For intermediate handlers (Level 3) comfortable with a stationary crossover who want to sharpen single, double, and behind-the-back moves over a cone - no hoop or partner needed.
The ladder: Single crossovers over the cone, then double crossovers, then behind-the-back.
Variations: Single, double, and behind-the-back moves; both hands.
In a game: Crossovers and behind-the-back changes over a marker are the same moves you use to shift a defender's hips before attacking - this builds precision on both hands.
Needs a cone or marker; loud indoor dribbling.
