Is this drill for you?
For beginners (Level 1) learning their first real combos - three behind-the-back and between-the-legs sequences that shift a defender.
The ladder: Combo 1 behind-the-back chain first, then the between-the-legs combos, each ending in a sprint-out.
Variations: Run each combo starting with either hand.
In a game: Each combo ends with a sprint-out - the habit of leaving after the shift, not admiring it.
