Dribble 2 basketballs on the move. 

When players reach a cone the ball on their outside goes behind their back and the other ball crosses over in front.

Players then continue running to the next cone and repeating.

Players start out in the corner on either side of the court.

Set up 2 cones in front of the players. The 1st cone 15 ft away. The 2nd cone 30 ft away. There will also be a chair 18-20 ft away from the basket.

Players dribble to the 1st cone and perform a change of direction dribble.

Player then dribbles around the 2nd cone and then dribbles at speed towards the chair.

When they reach the chair they should quickly change direction, move and attack the basket where they will finish with a lay-up.

The chair is simulating a defender. The players dribble up to the chair and use different change of direction moves.

Moves that players use can include crossover, behind the back, through the legs or a spin dribble. Look for them to beat the chair as if it were a defender.

After the move the players can finish with a series of shots such as lay-up, power move, bank shot, jump shot and reverse lay-up.
