Is this drill for you?
For intermediate guards (Level 3) who want the in-and-out dribble built into full shift combos - no hoop needed.
The ladder: Drive fakes first, then misdirection between-the-legs, double-cross between-the-legs, rapid in-and-outs up the court, dribble-crossover-between-the-legs, and freestyle to finish.
Variations: Both hands on every drill; freestyle finisher.
In a game: The in-and-out is the no-waste move that keeps your dribble alive while shifting a defender - this builds it into real combos.
Needs about a half court of space for the rapid in-and-out reps.
