Have a coach or partner stand about 10-15 feet in front of you, holding two tennis balls in each hand. Start dribbling in place until the coach drops one of the balls to the ground. You must have your inside hand free, if the basketball happens to be dribbling with your inside hand, quickly cross over. Dribble outside of the coach’s frame and snatch the tennis ball before it bounces twice.
