Is this drill for you?

For intermediate ballhandlers (Level 3) syncing feet with the dribble - pound hops into BTL, crossovers, behinds, push-overs, and combos.

Trains: ball-handling · rhythm · footwork · body control

The ladder: BTL hops first, then hop crossovers, hop behinds, push-over-top, then the combo finisher.

Variations: Alternate sides on every set.

In a game: Landing both feet with the dribble gives you a jump-stop platform mid-move - every direction stays open.

25 minutes; needs markers.
