The drill
Low dribble around cones → Behind-the-back dribble → Break feet down to balanced stance.
Hot, behind. Here. Yeah, here. Here. Hot. Hot.
Is this drill for you?
For novice ballhandlers (Level 2) who can already dribble stationary and want to add a behind-the-back wrap and a balanced stop around cones - no hoop, no partner.
In a game: Wrapping the ball behind your back and breaking down to a balanced stance is the escape-and-stop you use when a defender jumps your drive - this builds control instead of a picked-up panic dribble.
Needs cones or stand-in markers; dribbling noise on hard floors.
