What good looks like
The ball goes through on one hard bounce without touching your legs, and you stay low.
Safety
Dribble on smooth, dry ground only, away from parked cars and never in the street. Indoors, clear space away from furniture, TVs and windows.
Why this drill
Between the legs keeps your legs between the ball and the defender while you change hands. It is the start of many combo moves.
