Use in practice
A player moves along a lane between two markers, pauses, and returns.

Set up

Place two markers along a clear lane with room to slow down at each end.

Run the drill

  1. Walk between the markers while dribbling with your outside hand.
  2. Near the far marker, slow your feet and keep the ball bouncing.
  3. Turn and move back with a slightly quicker first step. Change hands for the return.

Make it easier

Walk the whole lane and change only the bounce height.

Add a challenge

Add a front crossover at the turn, keeping your eyes ahead.
