Ball Handling Drill with Partner
Learning Outcomes
Players will develop ball-handling skills and improve coordination with a partner.
Description Of Activity
Players pair up and pass the ball back and forth while performing various ball-handling drills. This can include dribbling while stationary, dribbling while moving, or alternating hands. Players focus on control, communication, and keeping their heads up.
Variations
Have players dribble with their non-dominant hand to increase difficulty.
Introduce specific moves (e.g., crossover, between-the-legs) during the passing sequence.
Coaching Tips
Emphasize ball control and proper hand placement while dribbling.
Remind players to keep their bodies low and use their fingertips, not palms, when dribbling.
Encourage players to stay in constant motion to simulate game conditions.
Equipment/Material Required
Two basketballs
