Basketball Dribbling and Ball Handling Video Clips, Fundamentals, Drills, and Tips

Most coaches use dribbling and ball handling interchangeably. Though they are linked, the 2 skills are definitely separate.

Dribbling and controlling the ball is a skill that can be practiced alone and is separate from the other ball skills on the court. Ball handling, however, involves knowledge of the game and integrates dribbling, passing and decision-making.

Practicing and improving your dribbling is a simple task. There are innumerable dribbling drills that are in use today that are challenging and effective. The set of drills that have come to be known as "Maravich Drills," (after the late ball-handling wizard Pete Maravich) are widely known. They include drills such as passing the ball around your body, dribble figure 8s, spider dribbling, drop and catch.

Practicing and improving your ball handling requires imagination, as you have to put yourself in game situations.

One of our favorite series of ballhandling drills that helps develop better ballhandlers is the Maravich series! Watch it below.

9 Tips To Improve Your Dribbling & Ball Handling

Here are 9 tips from pro coach Don Kelbick.

1. Dribble the ball hard. The more time the ball spends in your hand, the more control you have of the ball. The harder you dribble, the quicker it gets back in your hand.
2. Head up at all times. Look at the rim or a spot on the wall during all practice.
3. Use your finger tips to control the ball, not your palm.
4. Use your imagination. Picture when and how you would use each of the dribbles.
5. Teach mentality. There is too much dribbling for no reason in our game today. I like to teach that the primary purpose for putting the ball on the floor is to get a lay-up. If you don't have an opportunity, don't put it on the floor.
6. Basketball is a game of length. Work on lengthening the dribble. Work to get your opportunities with 1 dribble. You don't beat defenses with your dribble. You beat people with your feet; you SEPARATE from your defense with the dribble.
7. Basketball is also a game of angles. Try to move in straight lines. Whenever you make an "East-West" move (something that takes you toward the sideline), re-capture a "North-South" path (direct line to the basket) as quickly as possible.
8. Don't do things in 2 dribbles that you can do in 1.
9. Practice outside your comfort zone. Experiment; go faster than you are used to, use your imagination. When working on new skills, don't be concerned with losing the ball. Just pick it up and do it again. If you practice only things that are comfortable, then you will never improve.

Dribbling Practice

"Maravich Drills" are very good at getting players comfortable with the ball. Below are some examples.

• Dribble Figure 8's - Spread legs about shoulder width. Dribble the ball through and around legs in a figure 8. Can be done multiple ways - front to back, back to front, low dribbles (as many dribbles as possible with dribble about shoe height), as few dribbles as possible (high dribble about waist high), can even be done walking. For even more of a challenge, try the drill with one hand instead of two.
• Spider Dribble - Feet spread about shoulder width. Dribble the ball between your legs in the following manner - left hand, right hand in front of your legs; left hand, right hand behind your legs. Work to as fast a possible.
• Drop and Catch - Hold ball between your legs with right hand in front of your body, left hand behind. Drop the ball and exchange you hand position and re-catch the ball before it hits the ground.

These are just examples. There are too many of these drills to list here. Pete Maravich devised these drills out of his imagination, his need for challenge and his drive to improve. You do not need to be bound by other people's drills; challenge yourself to come up with your own drills.

Dribbling Warm Ups

I prefer to practice skills in combinations that are relevant to multiple aspects of the game. It saves time and instills a great sense of urgency.. It saves time and has a great sense of urgency. One of the ways I do this is to add dribbling into my stretching exercises.

• Hamstring Stretch - While dribbling with your right hand, cross right leg over left. Bend at the waist, touch the floor with your left hand and bring your dribble down to shoe top level. Hold for an 8 count. Reverse position and switch hands.
• Lower Body and Achilles Stretch - Dribble waist high while standing up. Step as far forward with your right leg as you can, keeping your back straight and your left heel on the ground. At the same time bring your dribble forward of your right foot, keeping the ball at shoe-top height. Hold for an 8 count and then stand up. Switch legs and dribble hand.
• Crossover - Same as above except, step forward with left leg. As foot goes to the floor, switch hands, right to left, keeping dribble shoe top height. Cross back when standing up.
• Through Legs - Same as above except instead of crossing over, put ball through legs at shoe top height.
• Multiple Through Legs - Same as above except put ball through legs 3 times (left, right, left) on quick, successive dribbles shoe top height.
• Torso Twist - Spread legs outside of shoulder width, dribble with right hand. Keeping legs straight, bring ball across body to left side, outside left foot and dribble at shoe top height behind left foot.

These are just samples. You can develop a dribble stretch for any part of the body.

Two Ball Dribbling Drills & Videos:

I think the most effective way to improve your dribble, however, is by using 2 balls. Any dribble or drill you can do with 1 ball, you can do with 2. Stationary practice at first will build confidence. Stand on the baseline and try to control both balls. Then start to move. Go half court, then full court. Follow the lines around the court or in any route you can come up with.

The difference between dribbling and ball handling is intent. Dribbling is the skill of controlling the ball as you bounce it to the floor. Ball handling (at least 1 aspect of ball handling) is what you do with that dribble.

Whether you use it to go to the basket, make a passing angle, escape from pressure or anything else, those situations have to be imagined and practiced.

Here are some situational drills:

• Full Court Lay-ups - Start on the baseline. Dribble full court with right hand in 5 dribbles and make a lay-up, come back with left hand. Then reduce the number of dribbles to 4 and then to 3.
• Chair Changes - Place a chair about 21 feet from the basket. It can be on top, on the wing, or in the corner. Start about 8-10 feet beyond the chair. Dribble straight at the chair. At the chair, use a change of direction dribble (crossover, inside out, behind back, etc) to go beyond the chair and make a lay-up. Try to get to the point where you only need one dribble to get to the lay-up. Practice all the changes.
• Two up - Two back - Set a chair such as in the drill above. Take 2 hard dribbles at the chair. When reaching the chair, take 2 backup dribbles. After the second dribble, push ahead into 1 dribble lay-up or pull-up jumpshot.
• Dropstep Dribble - (works on footwork and ballhanding)
• Chair Curl - This is another great multi use drill. It combines shooting, ball handling and speed and high intensity change in direction.
• Chair Curl Phase 2 (With 2 Chairs)
• Two Ball Dribbling Drills & Moves - Excellent way to improve one on one moves.
• Basketball Pick and Roll Drills

Shooting drills can also be adapted to work on ball handling aspects by adding changes of direction and pivoting to create 1 and 2 dribble opportunities for either jumpers or lay-ups.

Once you have developed a feel for the ball, it's very important that you practice your ball handling in competitive, game-like situations with defenders present. In the DVD 30 Competitive Skill Development Drills, you will find 12 drills that are specific to improving your ball handling skills in game-like situations.

TOP 10 JUMP EXERCISES - maaario's blog

It is very important for a basketball player to have a high jump. Moreover, each player entering the court must have trained legs to perform explosive work. Today we will analyze the 10 most effective exercises to increase the jump.

So, let's begin. First, let's look at strength exercises:

1. Barbell squat. Weighted squats develop all leg muscles, abdominals and lower back muscles. Thus, this is the only exercise that allows you to strengthen all the muscle groups necessary for high jumps. We recommend that you sit at least until your thighs are parallel to the floor. When doing a squat, make sure that the knees do not go ahead of the socks, because in this case there is a high probability of damaging the ligaments, and in basketball they always get a lot of stress anyway;

2. Squat with a barbell on a pedestal or bench. The exercise is similar to regular barbell squats. However, it has its own peculiarity. A cabinet or bench is designed to limit the amplitude of squats. This is necessary in order to already use explosive power. You should sit down in two counts. As soon as you touch the bounding surface with your hips, you abruptly get up to the starting position. Thus, you provide a slow stretch and a fast contraction of the thigh muscles. This exercise is performed with a lighter weight than a regular squat. Up to 70% of the maximum;

3. Snatch. Great weightlifting exercise. Perfectly develops intermuscular coordination, which is very important in basketball. Plus, explosive strength is trained and most of the muscle groups involved in the jump are alternately involved in the work. Watch your back while doing this exercise. Start doing with small weights so as not to get injured right away;

4. Forward lunges with dumbbells. In this exercise, you will thoroughly work out all the muscles of the thigh and also use the back stabilizers. An excellent exercise for training the endurance of the thigh muscles. When performing, special attention should be paid to the position of the knee at the time of lowering. It should not protrude beyond the toe. Otherwise, there is a chance of overloading the knee joint;

5. Stepping onto the step with dumbbells. This exercise will allow us to train the pushing process. This point is very important if you want to make noticeable progress when training your jump. Unlike lunges, you can do this exercise with more weights. Don't rush when doing it. Remember that too intense movements will lead to premature fatigue. It is, after all, a strength exercise.

So, we have analyzed the exercises aimed at strength work and at strengthening and developing muscle fibers. All exercises must be performed in 4 sets, including 10-12 repetitions. However, the number of repetitions in squats on a bench or bench, lunges forward with dumbbells and stepping on a step with dumbbells, we periodically recommend increasing to 16-18. This will allow your fibers to work in a slightly different way, which will also have a beneficial effect on your jump.

Next, consider jumping exercises for developing explosive strength, coordination and footwork speed, which is very important when training to jump.

1. Working with barriers. Using practice hurdles is an excellent way to develop fast footwork, coordination, leg hop and power. Hurdles are used in many professional basketball clubs. There are several steps to increasing the difficulty of training with hurdles. The main ones include regulating the height of the barriers and increasing the intensity of the footwork. Do not rush to immediately start with high obstacles and high speeds. Increase the difficulty gradually;

2. Running work. First of all, these are sprints with full gear at distances of different lengths and shuttle running. With such training, we will qualitatively work out a quick start, repulsion of the legs, and also prepare ourselves for the work at a ragged pace, which is necessary during the game. We recommend varying the length of the distance. Especially in the case of a shuttle run;

3. Jumping to the ring. The exercise is performed with two legs. In the starting position, the legs are shoulder-width apart. This exercise perfectly trains balance and simulates the work of the body during the game. We divide jumps into two types. These are low-intensity jumps that are designed to work on footwork, landing, take-off and peak jumping. As well as serial jumps. In basketball, a very important factor is serial jumping, that is, the ability of an athlete to make several jumps in a row with the same efficiency. In the fight under the ring, this can be a determining factor. Therefore, we must work out both options for jumps;

4. Jumping on the pedestal. This is a great exercise to practice your jumping skills and increase your jump height. When performing the exercise, do not narrow the distance between the legs, they should be shoulder-width apart. When landing on the bollard, try to transfer the load exclusively to the socks. In this exercise, it is important to use your hands. Thus, we involve in the process all the muscle groups involved in the jump when playing basketball. We vary the load by increasing the height of the pedestal;

5. Jumping from the depths. This exercise is aimed at practicing a repeated jump or a jump from a jump. Standing on the edge of the pedestal, you jump to the floor and then immediately jump as high as possible. Use your hands while doing this. Plus, landing is being worked out. Again, the main load should go to the socks, that is, to the calf muscle.

So, we have considered the basic dynamic jumping exercises. We recommend that you perform them on days free from game training. Try to do so many repetitions so that there is no distortion of technique. This will avoid muscle injuries and unnecessary stress on the joints.

Together, all the exercises discussed in this video will lead to inevitable progress and an increase in your jump. But once again we draw your attention to the fact that you should not immediately expose yourself to serious stress. After all, in training, the main thing is to make yourself better, and not vice versa.

So, that's it. Subscribe to our channel, ask questions in the comments and remember that a lot of interesting things are ahead of us.

what muscles to pump, example of training, records

Basketball jump training is an essential element of training. A basketball player must have many qualities, including good jumping ability. This is especially important in modern basketball, because the average height of players has increased significantly over the past decades. In this article, we will look at everything related to a basketball jump: what elements this action consists of, what muscles in the human body work when it is performed. Also here is information about training: how to practice and what exercises to perform in order to bring your jumping technique to perfection and increase your height.

How successful the jump will be depends on the strength of the repulsion, but it is just as important to observe the correct technique. It is not enough to deliver equipment once, it must be constantly developed and improved. Jumping training has a positive effect on overall physical fitness and health. With different jumps, different muscle groups are involved, a variety of workouts ensures uniform physical development.

What muscles work?

The decisive factor is the strength of the jerk, the momentum that the body is able to put into action. To understand how to increase the high jump in basketball, you need to understand which muscles will be involved.

Most of the load will be on the legs, more specifically the quadriceps and calf muscles. The largest muscle group in the human body is the front of the thigh. It depends on her how the repulsion will occur and what it will be. However, the calves are also not inactive. First of all, it is necessary to work on these muscles, since they take direct movement in repulsion. The tension will go from the lower leg up to the thigh, the work will go not only to large groups, but also to small stabilizing muscles in the abdomen and back. That is why in jumping training there are always exercises aimed at developing the muscles of the back and abdominals.

How to improve your jump?

A beginner basketball player has a lot to learn. If you are wondering where to start, then refer to the article "How to learn to play basketball?".

Beginners often think that the exercises are effective in themselves, and the frequency and order of their implementation does not really matter. This is a delusion, classes in an arbitrary schedule will not bring the expected effectiveness. The Air Alert program has been developed specifically to increase the height of the jump.

It was created by TMT Sports and is now considered one of the best for basketball.

The creators predict progress and make tempting promises. For 15 weeks of training, the jump will be increased by an average of 25-30 cm. The exact numbers depend on age and other characteristics of the body. To achieve success, you need not only to train, but also to adhere to the correct regimen: eat well, get enough rest and recover, sleep soundly.

Schedule

Frequency is very important, which is why you should follow the program. Air Alert is designed for four months of classes according to the prescribed schedule. Training takes place three times a week. Without a serious approach, success will not work, each pass affects progress.

A warm-up is required before each session. Warm-up exercises are chosen arbitrarily, but they must effectively warm up all the muscles. It is recommended to use running in place and jumping rope. The warm-up should last at least 3-5 minutes. Not only productivity depends on it, but also the safety of the lesson. If you perform sharp jumping movements without preparation, you can get injured.

Stretching

Not only warming up is important for the muscular system, but also stretching. This is especially important for the muscles involved in jumping. To stretch the calf muscles, variations of step-ups are used, when one leg is set on a hill, and the hand tries to reach the floor. To stretch the anterior thigh muscle, you need to put your foot on a chair and begin to reach for it with your body. To increase the elasticity of the muscles and tendons under the knees, the simplest inclinations are enough.

Training program

With it you will quickly understand how to learn to jump high in basketball and what technical aspects need to be improved.

High jump:

• starting position - feet shoulder width apart;
• jump as high as you can;
• land and crouch, about a quarter.

This must be done very quickly. You need to jump quickly and often to touch the ground for only a few fractions of a second. In this case, it is necessary to feel that the thigh muscles receive more tension than the muscles. Control that during the jump and landing the knees do not bend, this is an important point.

Toe raises:

• stand on a low platform so that the heels do not touch the floor;
• first rise on the toe of one leg, then the other;
• while lifting, the arms are pulled up.

Performed by sets of the maximum possible number of repetitions, between sets rest no more than 30 seconds.

Step-ups:

• in the initial position, one leg stands on a hill, the height of which is approximately knee-deep. Ideal chair;
• push off the floor with the supporting leg, jump up and change legs in the air;
• immediately do the same.

When performed regularly, increases stretch and explosive power, these qualities are essential for a basketball player.

Toe jumps:

• feet shoulder width apart, back straight;
• stand on toes;
• push off and jump using only calf strength;
• do sets as many times as possible.

Rest between sets for this exercise can be no more than one minute. The secret to the effectiveness of bouncing on your toes is to bounce as high as possible and stand on the ground as little as possible. You also need to try to do it as quickly as possible, then contact with the floor will be minimal, and efficiency - as high as possible.

Burnouts:

• take a semi-squat position and rise on your toes;
• jump from this position;
• land strictly on the toes, do not roll on the heels, this aspect must be constantly monitored.

When performing this exercise, the main thing is speed. Already after the first time you will understand what the name is due to. It is related to the sensations that you will experience in the process. If everything is done correctly, then a strong burning sensation will be felt.

Relaxation:

• the final element of the program, stretching exercises, serve as a hitch;
• are performed in descending order of intensity.

Relaxation must be complete in order to completely get rid of muscle tension.

When performed three times a week, the program will significantly increase the height of the jump. This is important for every basketball player, especially for those who lack height. You can learn more about the height of players from the material "How tall is it better to go to basketball?".

Jump stop

In parallel with the Air Alert program, other technical elements must be practiced. Jump stop is related to jumping technique. This is a technique that is included in the number of attacking actions. An abrupt stop provides a basketball player with many advantages, it allows you to get out of the tutelage of an annoying opponent, it introduces unpredictability into the game, it provides space for a good pass or an accurate shot.

It is necessary to learn how to land correctly: with a jump or two jumps. In a jump stop, the ball can not be used, but it is better to use it anyway. First, the player gains good speed, then pushes off with his foot and makes a wide jump in the direction of travel, at which time the shoulders are retracted. Landing occurs on one leg or two at once. If on one, then the landing occurs first, then the second leg is fixed. The torso should turn half a turn towards the leg that remains behind, at the moment it is the supporting one, it accounts for most of the body weight. This twist will help you keep your balance.

As a result, the basketball player achieves a decrease in horizontal speed by diverting momentum in the vertical direction. This is made possible by such a jump. It is worth mastering it in order to become more unpredictable on the site.

World Records

Outstanding basketball records related to jumping are impressive, they show what the human body is capable of. All basketball players jump well, but some do it just amazing. Michael Jordan received the unspoken title of "His airiness", as his fans called him. The legendary player did the impossible, his jumps are still considered record-breaking.

In 1987 and 1988 he outdid everyone and even himself by jumping 121.92 centimeters. Jordan has many achievements, this is just one of them, but it is impressive. Another athlete managed to get to such a bar, this is Darrell Griffith. Unlike Jordan, he is little known, so this fact is not so common. Although the record was set before the Jordan era, in 1980. Now only those who are seriously interested in basketball know about Griffith.

Everyone can achieve impressive results, the height of the jump is a skill that develops with time and practice.
