Is this drill for you?

For intermediate scorers (Level 3) building a behind-the-back package - crossovers, in-and-out combos, and rim finishes.

Trains: ball-handling · change of direction · finishing

The ladder: Crossover and in-and-out combos first, then blow-by finishes at the rim.

Variations: Run every option to both sides.

In a game: Behind-the-back keeps the ball shielded while you change lanes - the safest full-speed direction change in traffic.

Needs a hoop for the finishing reps.

← Easier: Behind the back and between the legs crossover · Harder: Master All Crossover Handles →
