The drill

Low Lateral Lunge Dribble

5 min · 30 reps

start with a low lunge position -->shift while making a crossover towards the cone -->try to touch the cone with free hand -->repeat it with other side .

Is this drill for you?

For intermediate players (Level 3) who stand tall through their moves and want the low lunge-level body control of a real drive - cones required.

Trains: body control · balance · lateral quickness · ball-handling

Variations: Both sides.

In a game: Driving low through contact takes a base that stays down - this builds the lunge-level control that holds a line to the rim.

Needs a cone or marker; expect leg burn from the low stance.

← Easier: Elite Handles / Balance
