1. Baby circles: a player with a ball and a cone on the floor. Player must drible very low, around the cone, with one hand, completing 5 circles clockwise and 5 circles counterclockwise. He/she immediatelly changes hand and does the same drill. The total must be 20 circles. 2. Cross over to square up: one bounce drible, two crossovers and returning the ball to the previous hand, another bounce drible and then square up to the side. 3. Two crossover drible, two under the legs drible, two behind the back drible. Must do it ten times. For the second round we change the initial hand. We must chop the feet when doing the under the legs drible. 4. Walk slowly while circleling the ball around one leg. Do it 10 times and then change hands. 5. 3 slow under the legs drible while advancing on the floor, and then 3 fast under the legs drible, while choping your legs and advancing on the floor. Do this sequence twice.
