*If you only had 5 minutes to practice your ball handling today, what would you do today?*

Here is what you should do… *(just for 5 minutes today!) *

1. 1 Minute of pound between the legs
2. 4 minutes of 2 ball inside outs. 

*What does that tell you?*

That 2 ball inside outs are… ***SUPER IMPORTANT!!! ***

**Here’s why:** the inside out is the set up move that you are going to need to use in a variety of situations: 

- ***INSIDE OUT…**** go by!*
- ***INSIDE OUT…**** between the legs!*
- ***INSIDE OUT…**** crossover!*
- ***INSIDE OUT… ****crossover… back between the legs!*
- ***INSIDE OUT…**** behind the back! *

*It’s all inside the Periodic Table of Basketball Skills!    *

Can you master this skill on The Periodic Table of Basketball Skills?

Remember what we say at SDC... 

***Master the Table... Master the Game!***

*****And the rest comes easy.*****
