5 Drills To Help You Become a Better Dribbler
Basketball Tip
The better you are at dribbling, the more opportunities you and your team will have on the court. Players who take time to work on the basics and master the fundamentals are the ones who go further and can contribute more to their team. Dribbling is one of the easiest skills to practice because it does not require a court, a partner, or much space. The more time you spend with a ball in your hand the better your ball control will be, but the only way to improve and go to the next level, is to practice outside of your comfort zone. This means you should experiment and go faster or harder than you are used to. If you only practice the skills you are comfortable with, you will slow your progress as a player. Here are five stationary drills that our Brooklyn Nike Basketball Camp Director TJ Jones uses at his complete skills basketball camp.![]()
When first starting out make sure that you are using your fingertips and not the palm of your hand, and that you are bouncing the ball no further than waist height. The goal of these drills is to become comfortable dribbling with both hands and to not look down. An easy trick to keep your head up is to find a spot on a wall and focus on this spot when dribbling. When going through each of these drills, imagine the game scenario you would use them in or what skill they can help you improve.
Front V-Dribble
The front V-dribble is used for in and out fake moves and can help you get around a defender. Start by only using your right hand and dribble the ball side-to-side in front of your body. This should make a V. Your upper body should move with the rhythm and the ball should go side to side. Switch over to your left hand and repeat.
Figure Eight Dribble
Widen your stance and dribble the ball in a figure eight around both of your legs.
As the ball moves from one side to the other side, you will switch your hand. The one hand that is not in use should be between your legs, ready to make the switch as soon as possible. As your dribbling gets faster, your dribbles should get lower and lower.
Scissors
This drill practices alternating between your legs. To get started put your right foot in front, and your left foot behind. Cross the ball between your legs and jump to switch the position of your feet so your left is in front and your right is behind. You should pass the ball between your legs, and after each time you should switch your feet position. Try to become faster and faster as you progress over time.
Dribble Behind the Back and Crossover
This drill requires 2 basketballs. With a ball in each hand, pound the balls 3 times, at the same time, on each side of your body. Then, pass one ball behind your back, and one in front to the opposite hand. Once you have passed the balls to the other side, pound the balls 3 times again and repeat.
Make sure to change the direction after 5 times. As time progresses, see how fast you can do this drill.
Freestyle
Use what you learned above and your own moves, and in a stationary position, combine them together. Make sure to maintain your ball control with freestyle and not to forget the fundamentals.
Remember to not be discouraged if you mess up at first. Just like everything in life and in basketball, new skills take time and hard work to master. Try practicing these 5 drills each day, and to see how you progress over the course of your training.

USA Basketball - 8 Basketball Power Dribbling Drills
Most children first learn to crawl, then walk, and finally to run. Basketball requires players to not only effectively move their feet, but also to maneuver a basketball.
Basketball players first learn to dribble the basketball with one hand, then to alternate hands, and progressively to increase to more advanced dribbling. As a basketball player, a powerful and effective way to keep defenders on their toes and increase your threat as an offensive player is to develop an agile and quick dribbling technique. The power dribble can do this.
A basic power dribble is when you dribble the ball at a very intense rate. Maintain your normal form and posture. Use your muscles to thrust the ball forcefully down, and then expect the ball to quickly bounce back to your hand.
The drills described below will help you gain confidence and agility to handle a basketball in a power dribble. This will help you run a fast break, cut through the defensive, and outmaneuver your opponents.
Power Dribble
1. Power Crossovers - Power dribble in your right hand, and then quickly bounce the ball to your left hand. Power dribble with your left hand for a few seconds before bouncing the ball back to your right hand.
2. Dribble Blindfolded - Wrap a cloth around your head as a blindfold, or you could simply close your eyes...no peeking. Power dribble a ball for at least 60 seconds. This drill helps you enhance your tactile sense of the ball. You can enhance the drill by performing it in the center of a deserted basketball court, walking around while dribbling. To make the drill even more challenging, try power dribbling two balls, one in each hand, while being blindfolded and slowly walking around a deserted basketball court.
3. 10-5 Repeats - This drill exercises power dribbling with one hand at a time. Choose which hand your would like to practice. Power dribble for 10 seconds, then soft dribble for 5 seconds. Repeat multiple times. This exercise teaches your arm muscles how to alternate between various dribbling speeds that occur during game play.
4. Dribble Between Legs While Walking - In order to do this drill you will need a segment of floor, such as a basketball court floor, a street's sidewalk, or a wide hallway that is deserted.
Power dribble while walking up and down the walkway. Power dribble the ball between your legs to practice fancy dribbling skills. To enhance the drill, perform the drill at a quicker walking pace, maybe at a light jogging pace.
5. Double Ball Power Dribbling - Power dribble two balls, one in each hand. This will increase your arm strength for dribbling and enhance your dribbling control. Since you can't look at both hands at the same time, this drill will also practice your ability to power dribble without looking at the ball.
6. Power Dribbling Sprints - This drill requires you to power dribble for an extended period of time and run back and forth on the basketball court. Stand at one end of a basketball court. Dribble to the nearest foul line, and then return to the baseline. Dribble to the middle of the court, and then return to the baseline from which you started. Dribble to the farthest foul line, and then return to the baseline from which you started.
Finally, dribble the entire length of the court, and return to the baseline from which you started. This entire continuous power dribbling exercise counts as one complete cycle of the drill. Repeat multiple times to practice your dribbling, speed, and direction-changing abilities.
7. 3-Chair Dribbling - Set up 3 chairs or cones in a line, spacing each chair/cone 10 feet apart. Power dribble around the chairs/cones in different shapes, such as figure-eights, circles, or any shape. Use your imagination.
8. Dirt dribbling - This drill actually requires you to leave the basketball court and find a patch of dirt. Do a Power dribble on the dirt for 1 or 2 minutes. You will need to power dribble the ball even harder than usual in order to get the ball to bounce on the dirt. This drill is an extremely good arm workout with power dribbling.
Start with just a few of these exercises, and then expand your workouts to include more drills. You can also modify the drills to be more challenging by increasing the number of repetitions or slightly modifying the drill.
The key is to vary your routines and have fun with them. By practicing the power dribble, you will greatly improve your dribbling.

Each team must have court with at least one excellent dribbler and the rest of the players should be able to drive the ball freely, naturally, while seeing the court, be able to bypass the defender with the help of dribbling (one on one).
Like passing, dribbling in the modern game is performed at high speeds, with the active influence of defenders. improve dribbling is necessary in conditions close to the competition, in close connection with improving body control techniques.
Exercises for training one player
1. Player freely dribbles the ball forward, stops, dribbles again (Fig.
49). Stopping, performs dribbling on the spot. It is very important to stop properly.
Variants: a) dribble with a high bounce off the floor, after a stop, switch to dribble with a low rebound from the floor;
b) dribble with a low bounce as fast as possible forward, stop and again dribble the ball forward as quickly as possible;
c) dribble the ball with one or the other hand.
2. Dribble, changing direction from one sideline to another (or mark a corridor narrower) (Fig. 50).
3. Dribbling between obstacles, (fig. 51) with the hand farthest from the obstacle, so that between the ball and the obstacle was the body of the player. Possibly put up obstacles closer, this will allow you to change the direction of the ball more often.
4. Dribbling with a stop and a change in the direction of guidance in the opposite direction.
Move the ball forward with your left hand, back with your right hand (Fig. 52).
5. Dribbling around the obstacle as quickly as possible. Return to starting position easily, driving the ball, (Fig. 53).
6. Same, but an obstacle is circled first on one side, then on the other, therefore around one obstacles to dribble the ball with one hand, around the second - with the other, etc. (around lead the first in the indicated direction with your left hand) (Fig. 54).
7. Dribble, stop, turn, drive on, etc. (Fig. 55).
8. Dribble from one touchline to the other (or in a marked corridor narrower than the court), perform a turn, at the same moment change hands and dribble further (Fig. 56).
9. Drive in a straight line (or initially in place) immediately two balls.
10.
The player leads ball across the hall against the wall. At a distance of 5-6 m from it performs a transmission (hits the ball against the wall), catches the bouncing ball, turns, dribbles the ball to opposite wall and does the same (Fig. 57). Pass the ball without stopping, on the move (or, without catching the ball, but right after the dribble, execute transfer with one hand).
11. On site mark a few points. Two put the ball behind the end line. The player takes one ball, leads to any point, return to baseline, change balls, lead to another marked point etc. If there is one ball, then return to the front line every time the ball is brought to a certain point (Fig. 58).
Described exercises can be performed on the entire site, on one half, on a part sites.
Exercises for training two players
1. Players stand one after another at the end line facing the court.
At a distance of 12-14 m from the first player is faced with an obstacle (chair, stand). The player dribbles around obstacles, passes it to the partner and runs to the place of the partner. The second player who received the ball does the same (Fig. 59).
2. Players stand on opposite corners of the site. The player dribbles the ball; catching up with a partner passes the ball to him. He dribbles the ball forward to the end of the court, stops, makes a turn and passes the ball diagonally to a partner (so that the pass is not too long, you can dribble up to half of the site,} {rice. 60).
3. Players one against another at a distance of 15-20 m. The player dribbles half this distance, passes his partner, receives the ball back, turns and dribbles then to starting position, where it stops, turns to the partner and passes him the ball. The second player does the same (Fig. 61).
4.
Players stand at the end line one by one facing the court. The first player dribbles 5-6 m, stops, turns to the partner and passes the ball to him. Second player runs forward for the lead ball. The player who receives the ball dribbles as far as possible. faster, overtakes teammate, stops, turns and passes the ball partner (Fig. 62).
5. From the same starting position, as in exercise 4, the player standing closer to the front lines, dribbles and overtakes the player in front of him. Then the player without the ball quickly runs forward and overtakes a partner who is leading the ball. Once a player without the ball is in front of the leader of the ball - he passes the ball to him; the player who received the ball begins to dribble, and the player who passed the ball overtakes the leader and again receives a transmission from him
(Fig. 63).
6. Playground divided into four parts.
Players at the end line; both have the ball. Who faster, driving the ball in the indicated directions, will reach the opposite front lines (Fig. 64).
7. Players stand as shown in Fig. 65. One player dribbles forward, the other without the ball overtakes the leader of the ball, changes the direction of the run, cuts the path of the leader, does not preventing him from dribbling, runs a few steps, stops, again cheats running direction, overtakes the leader and, having received a pass from him, dribbles the ball forward. The player who gave the ball does the same way and again, having received the ball, leads him forward, etc. The actions of the player without the ball should, perhaps, be more fast, but with correct stops, with a change in the direction of running (Fig. 65).
8. On site 4 balls are placed in one row at a distance of 4-5 m from one another. Player runs to one of the balls, takes it and leads to the end line, leaves it on marked place and runs after another ball, etc.
(Fig. 66). The second player alternately leading the balls, puts them in their original places (Fig. 67).
9. One player in the role of the defender, the second dribbles, stops, dribbles on, etc. The defender does not operate at full strength (Fig. 68). The players change roles.
10. Player leads ball in the direction shown in Fig. 69. The defender is active: if the leader does not protect the ball, dribbles it with the wrong (far) hand, the defender tries to knock ball. The players change roles.
11. On the set a corridor 5-6 m wide is marked. The player with the ball tries break through, bypass the defender in this corridor. The task of the defender without losing the good position (keeping the right distance from the ball carrier, good stance, etc.), if possible, take away, knock out the ball. The task of the ball carrier is to protect the ball and bypass the defender (Fig.
70). The dribbler must face the defender at all times. (except when making turns). The players change roles.
12. Protector - at the center circle, the ball carrier is at of the front line dribbles the ball, trying on the move to bypass the defender who meets leading at the central circle (Fig. 71). This exercise can also be done in marked corridor.
13. Both players have a ball and are freely driven in different directions in a small part sites. Each of them, dribbling the ball, tries to knock out the partner's ball and at the same time guards his ball so that it is not knocked out by a partner.
14. Players stand at the front line, facing the court at a distance of 5-6 m from each other. The first player (in front) dribbles, turns, stops, changes direction, height of the rebound when dribbling, speed of dribbling, changes the hand that dribbles the ball, and the player standing behind imitates him, trying as quickly as possible do the same as the partner.
15.In the middle the court is a player without the ball. The player with the ball from the end line dribbles the ball at maximum forward speed, passes it to a partner, receives the pass back, dribbles to the opposite front line, dribbles the ball to the other side of the court and returns back, doing the same (Fig. 72). Exercise to perform at the maximum pace.
16. The same but there are obstacles on the site. It is important to perform the exercise accurately and quickly. It is advisable to improve passing the ball right after dribbling with one hand, not
catching the ball (fig. 73).
17. Players stand as shown in Fig. 74. There is an obstacle at the free-throw line. Player O1 leads ball forward towards the basket, changes direction of reference and leads him past obstacles. Meanwhile player O 2 runs as shown. As soon as player O1 runs past the obstacle, player O 2 leads ball to the place from which the player started dribbling O 1 a player O1 takes the player's place 02 etc.
Exercises for training three players
1. Players stand at the end line facing the court. One player dribbles the ball to the marked spot (up to center circle), stops, turns and returns the ball to one from partners, and he himself remains there. The second player to receive the ball does same thing. The third player who received the ball dribbles it to the marked place, turns around, leads him back to the beginning starting position and transfers to one of the partners (Fig. 75).
2. The same only the player who passed the ball returns to its original position (Fig. 76).
3. Players run around. One of them dribbles the ball and passes it from behind to the runner (or in front), he the next, etc. (Fig. 77).
4. Each player, while driving the ball in a small part of the court, he tries to knock out the ball of a partner.
5. One player dribbles the ball, and the other two players try to intercept the ball, knock it out.
6. Players stand at the front line, as shown in Fig. 78. Player 1 dribbles towards player 2, who also runs towards player, dribbler, takes the ball from him and continues to dribble in the same direction. AT at the same time, player 3 runs towards player 2, takes the ball from his hand, continues move in the same direction until player 2 passes ball to player 3. Once player 3 has received the ball, player 1 quickly changes running direction and runs towards player 3, takes over the ball, etc. Player 2, who threw ball to player 3, does the same as player 1.
7. Players stand at the end line, facing the court. Player 1 dribbles forward 3-4 m and, changing direction, dribbles the ball across the court to where player is standing 2. Player 2 runs to the dribbler, receives it and makes the same path while dribbling the ball like player 1, heading towards player 3.
The path of the players without the ball is shown in fig. 79.
8. Player 1 leads ball forward to player 2. As soon as he is in line with him, stops, turns back and passes the ball to player 2, who dribbles ball to player 3 and does the same. Player 3 dribbles the ball across the court to player I, etc. (Fig. 80).
9. One player per the role of the defender prevents the player with the ball from "breaking through" to the center circle. The remaining two players each have the ball and are behind the end line. Their goal is driving the ball, “break through”, bypass the defender. Ball carriers must use space to the defender to gain speed and, having gained speed, "get around" the defender, using deceptive movements, changing direction, rhythm management (Fig. 81).
As soon as one the attacker bypassed (or the defender took away, knocked out the ball) the defender, immediately breaks through second.
Players switch roles after the attacker completes the drill repeatedly.
10. Two players as a defender. Each of them operates on a certain plot. The player with the ball behind the end line. His goal is to break through, bypass the defender, driving the ball (Fig. 82).
11. One player as a defender, the other players each have the ball. A corridor is marked on the site, in which the defender operates. Each player with the ball in his area dribbles the ball and tries in turn to break through to another section through the corridor in which defender is active. If the dribbling player sees that it is not possible to break through, he returns to his area. The player who lost the ball becomes a defender {rice. 83).
12. Two players stand at opposite ends of the site, the third - in the middle between them a protector. The ball carrier dribbles to a defender who interferes with the pass ball to a partner.
The player with the ball passes it to a partner and returns to the starting position. position. The second player, having caught the ball, also leads it to the defender, etc. If defender interfered with passing the ball, he changes role with a player who could not pass the ball (Fig. 84).
13. The same but the ball is dribbled in a limited corridor 4-5 m wide. The defender immediately actively interferes with dribbling and passing to a teammate. ball player must necessarily bring the ball to the middle of the court and only then perform the transfer. If the transmission successfully performed to a partner standing at the opposite end of the site, the defender runs towards him and also actively acts, preventing the player from dribbling, and then pass it on. If the ball carrier fails to bring the ball to the middle of the court or could not complete the pass, then he becomes a defender (Fig. 85).
14.
Two players with balls stand at the end line, the third - in the central circle facing them. Players dribble forward alternately at maximum speed. Not catching the ball move, one of the players with one hand directs the ball to a player standing in center circle, receives the pass back, dribbles to the end of the court, turns and does the same in reverse (Fig. 86). It is advisable to finish the exercise throw into the basket.
15. Same the same, but the exercise is complicated by the fact that the players circle the obstacles (Fig. 87).
16. Player with the ball is held by the defender (at first not quite active). The ball carrier tries to go around the defender by dribbling the ball. If this he fails, he tries to pass the ball to the third player standing on in the middle of the court, without the ball to go around the defender, get the ball back, dribble it to the basket and shoot.
Try to pass the ball on the move. After doing throw in the basket (you must try to get into the basket) exercise do it on the other side. If, when dribbling (or passing), it intercepted by the defender, then the player who lost the ball becomes the defender (Fig. 88)

5 Basketball Exercises to Move the Ball with Passes
There is nothing better than watching a team move the ball quickly and efficiently around the court without greed.
Overcoming the defense with smart passing the ball to each other, creating situations for open shots and passes is one of the great offensive techniques.
Would you like your team to do this?
Basketball passing exercises in this article will help you with this.
But first let me explain something very important...
There are two types of training exercises:
1.
Technique for passing the ball.
2. Decision making during transfers.
Unfortunately, most coaches only focus on the "technical" aspect of training and forget how to train their team's decision-making ability when it comes to sharing the ball.
Your players will not improve their game passes by doing thousands of repetitions of the chest pass.
While technical drills have their place, they are far less important than passing drills with decision making.
We must let the players learn how to read the defense and make the right decisions.
In addition, ball passing exercises are great for starting a workout to warm up your team and get them to communicate and work together.
5 ball passing exercises.
1. Advance
How the drill works:
Players form 3 columns evenly distributed along the end line. The two outside players start with the balls.
3 players advance across the court passing the ball back and forth to the middle player and then finish the exercise with two shots from under the basket.
Purpose:
A fun passing exercise that works on catching and passing without running, with communication, timing, and shooting from under the basket at game speed.
Formation:
Players form 3 columns behind the end line.
Two players on the outside lines have balls.
Instructions:
3 players (1, 2 and 5) begin to move forward on the court. The 1st outside player passes the ball to the 2nd player in the middle line.
Immediately upon receiving the ball, the center line player returns the ball to the same player on the touchline.
The 1st middle player then turns the other way and receives a pass from the 5th outside player and immediately returns the ball to him.
Outside players may use 1-2 steps to avoid running.
The exercise continues until the players reach the opposite 3-point line.
When this happens, the two outside dribblers go to the basket and shoot.
The group then waits at the opposite end for the rest of the groups to complete the exercise before starting the exercise on the other side. On the right scheme at the top, the three players (4, 3 and 2) continue the exercise according to the scheme described above.
Options:
Medium or 3 point shots. Instead of ending with a run to the basket, players may end with mid-range shots or 3-point shots.
Back and forth - instead of waiting at the other end, the troika can complete the exercise to both ends of the court. Only now the threes are placed on both end lines and begin the exercise when the three from the opposite side return to their half of the court.
One Ball - If you are coaching very young players, you can run this exercise with one ball until the players understand how it works.
Coach's notes:
Passes must be passed on the move in front of the player using proper passing technique.
The receiver must hold his hands at goodie level, showing 10 fingers and calling for the ball to be passed to him.
The middle player must catch the ball and quickly pass the ball to a running partner. Don't run!
Basket throw technique is very important in this lift. Watch your footwork and make sure all players are doing it right.
2. Monkey in the middle
How the exercise works:
Players are divided into groups of three. Each group has one ball. The two transmitters lined up 12 to 15 feet apart. The third player in the group is the "monkey in the middle". He tries to hit or steal the ball. The two outside players must pass the ball to each other without using cross passes or dribbling. Simply turning and using feints to open up the passing line and pass the ball past the defender.
Target:
A fun exercise that works on defense at the same time. This exercise will teach players how to use feints and turns to create a passing zone and also to protect the ball.
Formation:
• Groups of 3 players.
• Each group has one ball.
• The passers line up 12-15 feet apart with the third player (back) in the middle.
Instructions:
1. The drill begins with the defender attacking the player who starts the drill with the ball.
2. An attacker uses feints and pacing to pass to another attacker while a defender attempts to parry or intercept the pass.
3. After each pass, the defender rushes towards the ball carrier and tries to press the ball again.
4. When a defender recovers the ball or kicks the ball, the players change positions.
Variations:
Change after a certain time - Players can change positions
after a certain period of time (depending on the age of the players, their strength and stamina), and not after each interception and elimination. For example, 30-40 seconds.
One dribbling available.
Let the attacking players hit the ball once to the floor to open up the passing corner. It will be tougher for the defender.
Only bounce passes allowed - To make it more difficult for the attackers, allow them to only bounce passes.
Notes:
• It is very important for a defender to have active arms and legs at all times. This is the best way to intercept.
• Passing players must wait for the defender to recover before making the next pass. The purpose of the training is to learn how to pass and create passing angles.
• If there is no set time, the offensive player must not hold the ball for more than 5 seconds without passing the ball.
• No gears in an arc! They make the drill too easy for the attackers and will not lead to improvement.
3. Swing passes
How the exercise works:
The team is divided into 4 groups in the corners on half the court. The players make a pass to the player on the right, who start running along the sideline towards the endline.
The sender then joins the end of the column into which he passed the ball.
Purpose:
A drill intended to be used primarily with young players or as a warm-up. This training will improve passing the ball on the move, as well as improve reception and passing without dribbling.
Lineup:
• The team is divided into 4 groups. One group located in each corner.
• The first player in one of the groups has the ball.
Instructions:
1. The ball carrier 02 starts the drill passing the ball 01 to the player on the right.
2. Before passing the ball, the receiver must start running in the direction of the next group, where he will make the next pass of the ball.
3. 01, having received the ball, passes it to player 05, who starts a dash towards 03.
4. After each pass, the passer joins the end of the group where the ball was passed.
5. The exercise continues according to the same scheme with passes and jerks of the players along the square in the same direction.
6. After a certain period of time, the coach changes the direction of the passes.
Options:
Turn on the second ball. If the players perform confidently, then you can enter the second ball in the opposite corner.
Different types of passes - The drill can be performed with one or two hand passes, bouncing, etc. One Dribbling - Players are allowed to make one dribbling before passing to the next player. This can be useful if you are passing with one hand.
TIPS:
• The receiver does not need to slow down or speed up to catch a transmission. Transfers must be accurate, timely and forward.
• The receiver must initiate the snatch in a timely manner with arms outstretched to assist the passing player in making a timely and accurate pass.
• It is very important that you do not interfere in any way while exercising. Don't let them fall into this bad habit.
• Begin the exercise at medium speed at the beginning until the players understand it.
Then increase the intensity.
4. Bronze gears.
How the drill works:
Starting at the end line at the edge of the penalty area, pairs of players pass the ball back and forth using different passes as they run across the court to the other end line. When they get there, they move closer to the touchline and come back using various passes over the players in the middle of the court.
Purpose:
An excellent warm-up that provides many passes in a short amount of time. Including passes of various lengths and types for players in training.
Line-up:
• All players find a partner.
• Each pair has one ball.
• Pairs split into two columns behind the endline at the edge of the SR.
Instructions:
• 1. The first pair move to the opposite side at a slow pace in the middle of the court, passing the ball from the chest to each other.
• 2.
As soon as the first pair is closer to the 3-point line, the next pair starts.
• 3. When the first pair of players reach the opposing endline, they move to the touchlines and return, passing the ball over the pairs of players moving in the middle of the court.
• 4. When the players return to their starting position, they rejoin the pairs in the middle of the court and continue continuous training.
• 5. Every couple of minutes, change the type of passes players make for middle pairs and outside pairs.
Options:
Gears for pairs in the middle. For the mid lanes, there are several types of passes that I recommend: from the chest, with a rebound, one-handed from the chest, and one-handed with a rebound.
Outside Passes - For outside lines there are several types of passes that I recommend: chest passes, overhead passes, one hand passes.
Remember to consider your team's age, strength and skill level when deciding which passes they should use during practice.
Tips:
• Follow the pace of the exercise; especially if it is used as one of the warm-up exercises. Walking should not be allowed, but too much traffic should also be avoided. Accurate transmission is the main focus of training.
• Players on the outside lines must not make too many passes in an arc and with a very high trajectory on their passes. They should be at a height that is safe enough not to hit the midlines, but straight enough to reach your partner quickly.
• The ability to pass the ball with either hand is an important skill to develop. Expect mistakes when your players first perform a drill, but make sure you train them properly.
• Footwork is very important during this workout. Players must be able to catch the ball and pass back to their partner in two steps. If you are training young children and they cannot pass the ball at speed yet, slow down the pace of the exercise.
• After each run around the court, the players must switch to the sides so that they practice passing short and long passes from both sides of their body.
5. Netball
How the exercise works:
Regular Battle without dribbling the ball is allowed at any time. Games can be played 3 on 3, 4 on 4, or 5 on 5.
Target:
An excellent exercise that improves not only passing the ball, but also moving without the ball, positioning, jerking, etc. This exercise will lead to less use of dribbling in games and fewer losses.
Lineup:
• Divide the players into two teams based on the number of players available for training.
• Try to make teams of the same height and skill level.
• Only one ball is needed for training.
Instructions:
1. Teams play normal full game - no dribbling!
2. The exercise is performed within the time specified by the trainer.
3. Start with the arrangement shown in the diagram.
Point system:
• The game is played up to either 5 or 11 points.
• Each 2-point roll is worth 1 point.
• Each 3-point roll is worth 2 points.
• Must win by 2 points.
• In the event of a shooting foul, the offensive player throws one free throw for 1 point.
Variations:
One Shot Allowed - Players are allowed 1 dribbling when they gain possession of the ball. This is not a requirement, just an option.
Only bounce passes allowed - Restrict your players to only use bounce passes.
3 teams. The exercise starts by dividing your team into 3 groups of 3 to 5 players. Two teams start defense in each half. The third team is in the middle of the court on offense. The offensive team chooses one side and tries to score the ball without dribbling. Same scoring system as above. After a goal is scored or the possession of the ball is changed, the defensive team receives the ball, attacks in the opposite direction. The previous offensive team may play defense up to the center line of the court. Play until one team reaches 5 or 11 points.
