Is this drill for you?

For beginners (Level 1) learning the Shamgod - pound-Shamgod flows, then Shamgod-cross and Shamgod-cross-BTL progressions.

Trains: ball-handling · rhythm · hand-eye coordination

The ladder: Pound-Shamgod flow first, then add the crossover, then the crossover-BTL chain.

Variations: Lead with either hand.

In a game: The Shamgod is the first move that throws the ball away and snatches it back - it teaches real manipulation.

15 minutes; needs markers.
