Is this drill for you?

For novice ballhandlers (Level 2) who want ankle-height control - a 5-minute low dribble with weight shifts, one hand at a time.

Trains: ball-handling · body control · balance · hand-eye coordination

Variations: Right hand, left hand, then shifts between both.

In a game: The lower the dribble, the harder the steal - this builds the floor-level handle used in tight spaces.
