Figure 8 Around Cones

With two cones set about twice shoulder-width apart, the player dribbles a continuous figure eight around them, varying hand position on the ball as it moves around the body — four or five loops in one direction, then the same going the other way. Builds comfort controlling the ball in different spots around the body rather than just straight ahead, while keeping the same low, wide stance.

This drill comes from Get Handles Basketball.
