Is this drill for you?
For advanced ballhandlers (Level 4) ready for two-object overload work - tennis ball in one hand, crossovers with the other - tennis ball required.
The ladder: Two-ball double crossovers first, then double between-the-legs, then between-the-legs into a front crossover.
Variations: Ball returns to the same hand at the end of each rep.
In a game: Two-ball work overloads coordination so a single ball feels slow - that is the handle that holds up under ball pressure.
Needs a tennis ball plus a basketball.
