Two Ball Resistance

A partner drill for handling contact while dribbling: one player dribbles up the floor while a partner puts hands on their shoulders and applies steady resistance, forcing them to drive and control the ball against pressure before the partner releases and the dribbler explodes into a speed dribble. Watch for players leaning too far forward against the resistance — the goal is staying balanced with head and shoulders stacked over the feet even under pressure, not just fighting through it off-balance.
