Knee Clap

Stand with your feet together and bend over like you are going to touch your toes. Place the ball behind your knees. Let the ball go, clap your hands in front of your knees and catch the ball before it hits the ground. This is a very hard drill, but is a real good hand quickness drill. When you can do this…You have quick hands!

This is a drill Pistol Pete developed and used. He was the best ball handler ever!!!
