Use in practice
A low bouncing path crosses from a player's right side to the left.

Set up

Start with the ball in your right hand and space in front of both feet.

Run the drill

  1. Dribble at your side, then push the next bounce across in front of your body.
  2. Receive it with your left hand and settle into a controlled dribble.
  3. Cross back. Work on a clean hand change before adding speed.

Make it easier

Pause with several ordinary dribbles between crossovers.

Add a challenge

Take a small step in the new direction after each crossover.
