Is this drill for you?

For novice ballhandlers (Level 2) ready to chain their first four-move sequence - between, behind, drag, cross - no hoop needed.

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

Variations: Reset to both hands.

In a game: Chaining between, behind, drag, and cross builds the footwork base that turns one move into a three-move attack.

Slow it down first - the drag-back reset is the key rep.
