Purpose

Improves dribbling skills.

Drill Setup

  • Players line up on the court in front of the coach.
  • Each player has two balls

How it Works

  1. Coach calls out dribbles from the two ball sequence:
  2. Low Rhythm: dribble both balls simultaneously to knee height
  3. Low Alternating: dribble both balls one a at time, to knee height
  4. High Rhythm: dribble both balls simultaneously to chest height
  5. High Alternating: dribble both balls one a at time, to chest height
  6. One High, One Low: dribble one to knee height and the other to chest height
  7. Players perform those dribbles as called.
  8. Coach critiques form and offers tips.
  9. Coach can then have players walk to half court and back executing the 2 ball dribbles he calls out.

Coaching Tips

  • On low dribbles, ball should stay below the knees, back should be straight, head up.
  • On high dribbles, ball should go to chest height. Hands should always stay on top of the balls.
