Basketball Handling Drills

#1. Figure 8: This drill is really a combo drill, it helps ball handling as well as your dribbling. Remember the drill up above, the figure 8? Well this is one is it's cousin. Dribble the ball as quickly as possible in a figure 8 through and around the legs. Use the fingers when you dribble, and dribble very low and quickly. Switch from the right to the left and back to the right. Example: start with the right hand dribbling the ball in front and then dribble through your legs with your right hand, switch to your left hand and dribble from the back, around your left side to the front and back through you legs... then switch to your right hand behind the body and around the right side. Try to go as fast as possible, the more you practice, the quicker your dribbling will improve. This is a true dribbling trick for basketball that will give you incredible control and confidence.

#2. Bounce and Catch Stationary: Stand with your your left foot in front and your right foot wide to the back. Now, take the ball and bounce it between your legs. Then push it back the other way. As the ball gets to your left hand shift your feet so that your right leg goes ahead of your left and bounce the ball back between your legs. This shifting of your feet will occur with every bounce.

#3. Between the Legs Walk: Once you mastered the one above, this one will be fun and easier. You do the same thing, except you walk instead of staying still and shifting your feet.
