How to run it
Taking your handle on the move is where stationary control turns into real game skill. The goal is to change direction and speed without the ball ever slowing you down.
Steps
- Start the pattern at a controlled pace.
- Execute each move low and tight as you move through it.
- Keep your eyes up and your dribble protected.
- Add speed only once you can run the pattern clean.
Focus on
- Control at speed
- Change direction sharply
- Head up
Coaching cues
- Speed is useless if the ball gets loose — earn the speed by being clean first.
- Attack in straight lines out of each move.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Rushing the pattern before the control is there.
- Rounding off direction changes instead of making them sharp.

Common mistakes: Letting the ball drift too far away. Standing too upright. Rushing transitions. Slapping the ball instead of guiding it.
