Basketball Dribbling Drill #11

two ball dribbling

Each player has two balls. Start off with stationary dribbling about waist high, try to start off simple with dribbling both balls waist high at the same time trying to get the feel for it. Then have the players quick dribble about 4 or 5 inches off of the floor. Lastly you can have them dribble there left hand really low, while the right hand is dribbling normal waist high then do the opposit. Where the right hand will be dribbling low, and the left is waist high. Finally have the players from the baseline dribble down and back.

*If they get bored with it fast, you can always race…but remember to keep teaching the fundamentals. Which would be to keep your head up at all times, finger tip control on the ball, and dribbling low.

FIGURE 8

Basketball Dribbling Drill #5:

The player dribbles the ball in a figure eight fashion, alternating hands. To do so, she begins by standing with her feet apart and leans to the right. He/She dribbles with her right hand, starting at the outside of her right leg. Then she leans to the left as she dribbles with her left hand. She gives the ball a hard, quick tap form behind when changing hands. The hand that is not dribbling should be between the player’s legs ready to make the switch as soon as possible.

The player repeats the drill as she moves forward, dribbling a figure eight behind her legs as she walks. She starts at the outside of her right foot, and dribbles behind it, then steps with her left foot and dribbles behind it. She continues up the court in this fashion.

Move both hands from front to back, catching the ball behind your back. Attempt to slam the ball through your legs as hard as you can this is where it comesin to play calling it the Ricochet Drill.

Advanced ricochet drill (reversal) is to bounce the ball back through from the back to the front it’s a lot harder to to. I have also seen this done as well, but it’s very very diffucult. Taking the ball from the front reaching has far back as possible above your head and in the back and try to bounce the ball through your legs from the back to the front!
