The drill
Dribble between legs → crossover dribble → drag ball back with same hand, alternating sides for full control.
Between cross drag back. I'm here.
Is this drill for you?
For advanced ballhandlers (Level 4) who can chain between-the-legs and crossovers and want to add the drag-back to keep the ball protected - no hoop, no partner, cones needed.
Variations: Alternating sides.
In a game: The drag-back pulls the ball out of a defender's reach when they extend - this builds the habit of moving the ball with your body, not just your hand.
