To perform the pair dime shift, you will need a partner and two cones. Place the cones approximately 10 yards apart. One player will start on one cone and the other player will start on the other cone.

The player on the first cone will dribble the ball towards the second cone at a moderate speed. As they approach the second cone, they will perform a dime shift (a quick change of direction). The player on the second cone will then dribble the ball back to the first cone and perform a dime shift.
