A crossover dribble is a simply a low, quick bounce in front that allows you to quickly switch momentum and direction so that you can outmaneuver your opponent and drive towards the basketball hoop.
1 Dribble the ball in your dominant hand (let's pretend you're right-handed for the purpose of this example).
2
Use your body as a slight barrier between the ball and your defender, but still face your defender.
3
Take a step with your left foot.
4
Follow that with a step with your right foot.
5
Let the defender move in the direction you appear to be headed.
6
Switch the ball to your left hand with a quick, low bounce directly in front of your defender.
7
Take a step with your left foot around the defender.
