Keeping basketball skills sharp requires regular practice and drills, and an effective drill to use for this purpose is the crossover hand-off drill. This exercise works both your coordination and dribbling technique as it involves dribbling one basketball in front of you, crossing it over back and forth, while at the same time, using your other hand to pass a second basketball from one side of your waist to the other. This is not just a basketball-specific drill; it is also useful for any type of workout that requires fast feet and quick hands. Anyone looking for a challenging basketball drill should give it a try — but be warned: It’s not as easy as it looks! For even more of a challenge, try juggling two basketballs around during the crossover hand-off drill — but only if you feel up to taking on something truly difficult.
