Is this drill for you?
For advanced ballhandlers (Level 4) with a training partner who want full-court combo dribbling with live passes and defensive slides - partner and second ball required.
The ladder: Combo dribbles with passes first, then moving in-and-outs, lateral scissors with hook passes, then simultaneous double and triple combos with slides.
Variations: Full court and back; roles switch every rep.
In a game: Handling while catching and passing is exactly what bringing the ball up against pressure feels like - this builds eyes-up control with a live body next to you.
Needs a partner, a second ball, and full-court space; not a solo workout.
