Basketball Dribbling Tips

This is one of the [tag]basketball dribbling tips[/tag] that Brad, one of my readers, sent to me. Try this out with your team tonight!

From Brad…
52 Pick-Up – [tag]basketball[/tag] [tag]dribbling[/tag] [tag]drill[/tag]

Bring enough tennis balls and basketballs for everyone.  Every player stands on one end of the gym with a tennis ball in one hand and [tag]dribbles[/tag] with the other.
On the whistle, throw the tennis ball to the other end of the gym, keep dribbling.
On the next whistle, [tag]dribble[/tag] to the other end, pick up a ball (while still dribbling) and return.  (teaches [tag]ball[/tag] control and movement)

Up the ante for older players by continuing to run the drill but each time the [tag]coach[/tag] removes one of the tennis balls.  That way the players need to be fast and aggressive to get down, pick up a tennis ball, and get back.

Keep removing tennis balls one by one until one player is champion.
