The Ultimate Dribbling Drills For Basketball

If you’re looking to improve your ball handling here are some simple basketball dribbling drills to add to your workout routine.

Sometimes working out or practicing can be kind of boring. Especially if you don’t have a routine that gets you results. So here are some simple dribbling drills for basketball that you can add to your own routine that will get you the results you want.

I usually like to start out all of my workouts with ball handing. So here is it goes.

Dribbling Drills For Basketball

Start with two ball dribbling from the baseline and dribble with both balls bouncing them at the same time. Once you get to half court, turn around and come back.

Next alternate your dribble with two balls and go to half court and back. So when you dribble with your left hand, the ball should be in your right hand. That’s what I mean by alternating dribble.

Then I’ll start again at the baseline and dribble with one ball this time but I’ll crossover ever two dribbles till I get to half court and then turn around and come back to the baseline crossing over ever two dribbles.

The next thing I’ll do is starting at the baseline, every two dribbles I’ll dribble between the legs. Do this from baseline to half court and back.

Next, start at the baseline again and this time every two dribbles you then dribble behind the back. Dribble to half court and then back to the baseline.

Last, you’ll want to combine all three of the moves from above. So start at the baseline and after you take a dribble, then you’ll add a three move combination. So you dribble right then crossover, then between the legs, then around the back. Then you’ll take one dribble left, and then crossover, dribble between the legs, and then around the back. So on and so forth until you get to half court. And then do the same thing going back to the baseline from half court.

When you do these drills you want to work on making your moves quick, game speed. And also work on keeping your head up.

This is a simple routine and you’ll notice your handle improve drastically if you add this to your workout routine. I recommend starting out just doing this entire routine once. And as you get better doing it two or even three times every workout.

The beauty of this routine is that it is simple and you’re working on the fundamentals. So often we make things too complicated. And feel free to add other moves to this as well.

Combination moves are also great to work on because as you get to be a better all handler the easier it is to do combination moves.

So really focus and work hard at these drills. If you do, in no time the ball will start to feel like a yo-yo to you. It will start to feel like part of your body. And when that happens, you’ll be able to go anywhere you want on the court.
