Advantage Basketball Camps Building Block Drill #3 – Double Leg Wraps

Leg wraps are the the next level up from mastering the ability of siding the ball. The leg wrap drill teaches how to use centrifugal force to control a basketball. Mastering this skill will allow execution of lighting-quick direction-change moves.

A. Keep your body facing forward. Knees are slightly bent.
 
B. Legs are spread apart wide with feet pointed forward.
 
C. Start with the ball in front of you. Using your right hand, bring the ball from the front and wrap it around and behind your right leg. 
 
D. Throw the ball (from behind you) to the floor between your legs at a 45-degree angle. 
 
E. Catch the ball in front of you with your left hand and wrap the ball around and behind your left leg. 
 
F. Bounce it through your legs to your right hand. 
 
G. Do this over and over.

This will be difficult at first, but stay with it. You simply must master this skill.
