Is this drill for you?

For advanced players (Level 4) who can attack off one move and want a counter package - double between-the-legs into a split dribble - for when the first drive gets cut off - no hoop or partner needed.

Trains: ball-handling · change of direction · first-step speed · explosiveness

Variations: Both sides.

In a game: The counter is what you go to when the defender beats your first move - double between-the-legs into a split keeps the drive alive downhill.

No hoop in the drill; drives run at cone markers.
