Is this drill for you?
For novice ballhandlers (Level 2) moving laterally through the ladder - V-dribbles, BTL crossovers, and same-leg BTL with both feet in each rung.
The ladder: V-dribbles first, then BTL crossovers, then same-leg BTL.
Variations: Go laterally in both directions.
In a game: Both feet in each rung while dribbling forces precision - sloppy feet and sloppy handles fail together.
15 minutes; needs an agility ladder or taped lines.
