Ball Handling
Set out squares with 4 cones about 3 feet apart.
Pull the ball back with your outside foot and touch it across your body with the inside of same foot.
When you get to the other cone, move the ball forward with other foot and then pull back and continue.
Variations –
1. Pull back with inside foot and use the outside of that same foot to move it to other side of box.
2. Pull back with outside foot and roll on top of ball with same foot to other side of box.
3. Pull ball back with outside foot and roll it behind heel that you are standing on and return it.
