Transcript
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.

Trains: ball-handling · change of direction · body control · footwork

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.
