Is this drill for you?

For intermediate ballhandlers (Level 3) who own a behind-the-leg jab and want six counters when the defender sits on it - no hoop needed.

Trains: ball-handling · footwork · change of direction · rhythm

The ladder: Regular BTL jab first, then add the cross and double cross, then the drag, cross-BTL, and wrap counters.

Variations: Run every counter off both the left and right jab.

In a game: When a defender stops reacting to your jab, these counters - cross, double cross, drag, wrap - keep the move dangerous.

Ball and a driveway only.
