50 Basketball Dribbling Drills (Develop an Amazing Handle)

If you’re a basketball coach or parent I bet you have heard these comments from your players…

“Coach, I can’t train at home. I don’t have a basketball ring” or “Coach, there’s not enough space to train at home”.

These are excuses I hear all too often and it’s not necessarily the player’s fault. As coaches and parents, we need to teach our players that they can work on their game no matter where they are.

That’s why I’ve compiled this list of exactly 50 stationary basketball dribbling drills that your players can use to work on their game anywhere as long as they have a small area to use and a basketball.

 

Stationary 1 Basketball Dribbling Drills

1. Ball Slaps
Continuously slap the basketball from one hand to the other. This is a great drill to start with to get your hands ready for the workout.

While making sure to keep your elbows locked, tap the basketball quickly back and forth straight out in front of you. When you become good at this drill start moving the ball up and down.

3. Wraps – Around Ankle
Wrap the ball around your lower leg/ankles without letting the basketball touch the ground.

4. Wraps – Around Waist
Wrap the ball in a circle motion around your waist.

5. Wraps – Around Head
Wrap the ball in a circle motion around your head.

6. Wraps – Around the world
Involves combining the wraps around the ankles, waist, and head into one drill. Start by wrapping the ball around your head, then bringing it down and around your waist, and finally around your ankles. Then back up to your waist, then head, then waist again, etc.

Then step out with your left leg and circle it before stepping back together and wrapping the ball around them both. Continue this process.

11. Drops
Start in a squat position with both hands and the basketball in front of you. The aim is to drop the ball between your legs (only a few inches off the ground), let it bounce once, then take both hands behind your legs before catching it. Then dropping the ball again from behind and taking both hands back to the front and catch it. Repeat.

12. Straddle Flip

    Basketball size varies by league, governing body, and gender and age of students. Basketballs differ from each other in weight, pressure, circumference and material of manufacture. According to the official rules of the game, the game projectile must have a spherical shape, be made in orange and have 8 black inserts and seams.

    The official size of a basketball is numbered 7, it has the following characteristics: weight (mass) is - 567-650 grams, circumference - 749-780 cm, atmospheric pressure - 0.56 - 0.63 kg / cm 2 . This is the largest ball, and now look at the rest in the table:

    Size Circumference (cm) Weight (grams) Pressure (kg/cm 2) Where applicable
    7 749-780 567-650 0.56 - 0.63 Professional Men's Basketball, Boys 14+
    6 724-737 510-567 0. 56 - 0.63 Women's professional basketball, girls 12+, boys 12-13
    5 690-710 470-500 0.56 - 0.63 Boys and girls 10-11 years old
    3 560-580 300-330 0.56 - 0.63 Boys and girls 4-9 years

    Pass the Basketball Test

    Basketballs are made from natural leather or synthetic leather - the pressure is the same for all sizes. It is worth remembering that a correctly inflated ball of the correct size is important to ensure quality training and skill development for players of different ages.

    For games held under the auspices of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the ball is inflated to air pressure so that when it falls onto the court from a height of 1.8 meters, it should bounce to a height of 1.2-1.4 meters (measured by the top of the game ball).

    Indoor and outdoor basketballs

    There are no differences between the versions of the game in terms of size, but there are other nuances regarding manufacturing. Indoor balls are made of genuine leather, and outdoor balls are made of rubber.

    Leather basketballs intended for indoor use should not be used outdoors. Concrete or asphalt surfaces cause the leather to become rough and wear out quickly, eventually resulting in poor hand-ball contact. Also, some balls for playing inside are made of composite or synthetic leather, but their quality leaves much to be desired.

    For outdoor play, manufacturers make balls with a rubber surface, as it is able to interact better with rough field surfaces. Rubber basketball will be a good choice for beginner players as it is much easier to control and develop skills.

    Best Selling Basketball Brands

    Basketball is very popular all over the world, which means that ball manufacturers do not have to sit idle, because they need to compete, create a quality product and, accordingly, make a profit. Here are the 3 best selling basketball brands in the world.

    1. Spalding (USA)
    2. Wilson (USA)
    3. Molten (Japan)

    Spalding makes balls for the most popular league in the world, the NBA. Wilson is in demand with the NCAA and most of the youth leagues in the United States of America. But Molten is the main supplier of game equipment for FIBA ​​tournaments, European championships and even the Olympic Games.

    Note that on average for men, a standard size 7 basketball sells for $30-60.

    Basketballs have changed a lot since the beginning of the game in the late 19th century. Today, technology has made it possible to make very high-quality and even smart balls. This was not always the case, because decades have passed and the balls have undergone many changes and improvements, although at the very beginning, James Naismith, the founder and father of basketball, used a soccer ball to play, which his students threw into peach baskets.

    A new wave of basketball ball design, sweat throughout the appearance, will stand out flawless technology. This applies to the panels of the game projectile - now there are 8 of them, and the new composite structures have only two. New modern balls are constantly advertised by manufacturers. There are those that can control humidity, have more pimples - dots, and are even able to track the entire process of the game and in live mode and send information (strength of throw, rotation, impact) to Android or iPhone. Such a ball is 94FiFty.

    Pulling the ball is carried out in a situation where the attacker has somewhat weakened the control of the ball. The most suitable for this is the moment of lowering the ball down after mastering it (when catching, passing or taking a rebound), as well as the moment of turning back to the attacked basket after an interrupted dribbling.

    Having come close to the opponent, the defender must grab the ball with his hands as deeply as possible (one above, the other below) and make a sharp movement towards himself with a simultaneous turn of the torso towards the supporting leg.

    Turning the ball around a horizontal axis makes it easier to overcome the opponent's resistance.

    The technique is studied after teaching those involved in the technique of holding and catching the ball in attack.

    Ball snatch training .

    1. Explanation and demonstration.
    2. Performing a reception with passive resistance of the opponent: in and. n. both players hold the ball while standing still.
    3. The same, but after the attacker makes a turn or turns on the spot.
    4. Same as in ex. 2, but at the moment the attacker takes possession of the ball:
    • after grasping a ball lying or rolling away from a partner;
    • after the attacker's own tossing the ball up above him, catching it in a jump and lowering it to chest or waist level;
    • after the rebound of the ball, previously sent by the player to the backboard;
    • after the player stops dribbling;
    • after the ball is passed by a partner along a given trajectory to an attacker who is standing still or making a stop.
  • Pulling the ball out of the hands of an opponent with his active opposition: in and. n. both players grasped the ball while standing, kneeling or sitting on the floor, etc.
  • The same, but in i. n. the ball lies on the court between two players: at the signal of the teacher, they tend to grab and snatch it from each other.
  • The same, but after a 3-5 m snatch from various i. n. (standing, sitting, lying on the floor, etc. ) to master a flying or rolling ball.
  • Challenging for the ball without activity restrictions after it is caught by the attacker (the ball is passed by a partner) and grasped by the defender who jumped out from behind the opponent.
  • The same, but after successive or simultaneous gripping of the ball by two players during a rebound from the backboard (the third player or teacher sends the ball into the backboard).
  • Performing a reception as a whole, followed by a transition to the specified attacking actions after mastering the ball: passing to a partner in the gap, remote throw on the basket, pass-throw, etc. (As you master the technique of the game).
  • The same, but in outdoor games: “Fight for the ball without rules”, “Rugby by simplified rules”, etc.
  • Reproduction of the ball snatching in the conditions of game confrontation.

    • Organizational and methodological instructions .

    1. Preliminarily teach how to hold and deep grip the ball.
    2. In all exercises, stimulate the development of reaction speed when mastering the ball, using various and. etc. and unexpected starting signals (voice, clap, the appearance of a ball from behind, etc.) to start active actions.
