Ball handling, particularly dribbling, in basketball is an extremely important skill for players. Below are three useful drills to help improve dribbling capabilities.
- Ball slaps: A perfect drill for warming up, ball slaps get players’ hands ready for handling the basketball on the court. This drill involves continuously slapping the ball from one hand to the other while remaining stationary, keeping the ball centered in front of the body.
- Wraps: Wrapping the ball around the waist, ankle, or head helps basketball players work on their balance and ball control. Regardless of what the ball is being wrapped around, players must continually move it in a fluid, circular motion. If they fumble the ball, the drill begins anew. Players who are advanced enough can also perform “around the world” drills, which involve wrapping the ball around the waist, ankle, and head in a single drill.
- V dribble: This drill involves using one hand to dribble the ball, either side-to-side in front of the body or front-to-back to one side, in a “V” shape. Doing so helps players get accustomed to the movements necessary for dribbling a basketball.
