Copyright © 2016 Trevor McLean 1 BasketballForCoaches.com INTRODUCTION 30 TEAM DRIBBLING DRILLS INTRODUCTION Hey there, Thanks for checking out these 30 Team Dribbling Drills of the 'Championship Coaching Course'. Before we get into them, it's important to note that the following dribbling drills will be primarily targeted at the younger and more inexperienced teams. The reason for this is because as players get older and improve, the skill of dribbling the basketball becomes more about being effective in as few dribbles as possible. This is best taught using various small-sided games found in the '22 Small-Sided Games' PDF of this course. Whereas for the younger age groups, dribbling drills are very important while they're setting the foundation and are a great way to keep all players occupied, improving, and having fun. The two most important things a coach must focus on while running dribbling drills are: 1. Ensure players are developing the ability to dribble with both hands If you leave it up to the players, they're naturally going to dribble with whichever hand they're able to control the basketball best with. For this reason, you must always keep a focus on developing both hands equally when you're running any drill. For example, using the 'opposite hand only' rule in a game of dribble knockout. I learned at a young age to dribble with both hands, and that allows me to be more creative when I go against bigger and stronger opponents – Steve Nash Copyright © 2016 Trevor McLean 2 BasketballForCoaches.com INTRODUCTION 30 TEAM DRIBBLING DRILLS 2. Ensure player are practicing dribbling with their head up Similar to choosing their dominant hand, players will naturally look down at the basketball when they first start dribbling because it's easier. Coaches must push players out of their comfort zones by encouraging them to keep their heads up while dribbling. This will lead to more mistakes and a few loose basketballs rolling around the gym, but will lead to an in-game improvement much faster. Good luck! - Coach Mac Copyright © 2016 Trevor McLean 3 BasketballForCoaches.com 1-on-2 FULL COURT 30 TEAM DRIBBLING DRILLS 1-on-2 Full Court How the Drill Works:
