Basketball drills for dribbling
Team often stands waiting with the whole team to take ball.
- 1 player starts with the ball on the back line. Other players without ball.
- On starting signal, player 1 starts dribbling the ball to the center line
- The other players sprint to the center line.
- Whoever is slower than player 1 sprints 1x up and down the field.
Variant: this exercise can also be done with a rebound. Trainer rebounds ball and plays ball to player 1. Rest starts from the back line.
- Each player has a ball
- The group is divided into 2 groups each at a ring
- The first player of the group attacks the first cone, where he does a change of direction (variation).
- Thus to the next cone where he repeats this until he reaches the ring on the other side, where he finishes according to the indicated variation.

- Cross over
- Between legs
- Behind the bag
