The drill

Breakdown Cross Drive

5 min · 20 reps

Throw ball down → step with opposite foot → shift weight into a low stance → low cross dribble to opposite side → drive to the basket.

Is this drill for you?

For novice ballhandlers (Level 2) learning the hesi crossover as a step-by-step breakdown - throw, opposite step, weight shift, low cross, drive.

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

Variations: Throw left and right; finish with either hand.

In a game: The hesi cross freezes a defender for a beat - the throw-and-shift is what sells the drive before you cross.

5-minute single-move breakdown.
