Butterfly drill

Improves ballhandling, and hand-eye coordination.

Instructions

Start with the ball in both hands in a position low to the ground. Drop the ball in front of you and dribble first with your strong hand (this should be a crossover dribble), then with the weak (this dribble should be between the legs.) When the ball has gone through your legs, repeat the above behind you. This is not too difficult. The objective is to get the ball going as fast as possible and to gain total control over the pill. It\‘s called the “Butterfly” because when you have mastered it, you will look like a butterfly.

Tips

Get comfortable with crossover dribbles both traditional and between the legs. Make sure to keep your head up and don’t stop until you master this.

Skills
