This is a dribbling drill that can be done in two lines, or just as partners, depending on the size of your group/team, the gym space, and the number of basketballs available. Start the drill off slowly with emphasis on keeping eyes up and not on the ball then speed it up. Excellent skill builder.
Dribbling is one of the skills that we constantly work on. These two drills are two of my favorites and the players have fun with them. The challenge spurns them on.
