Toughness Ball Handling Drill

• Players partners up and work with each other splitting the court into thirds.
• The defensive player makes constant contact with the ball handling, reasonable fouls are permitted for the drill.
• The offensive player must handle the ball through pressure and contact.

Dribble Moves vs. Contact:
1. Basic change of direction moves
2. Power dribble (ball handler stays low, separates the ball from his man using his body, and drives the defense forward with his feet)
3. Trap (retreat) dribble
