Drill Instructions: <\/strong>The drill is quite simple, making it easier to introduce abilities to novice players. Set up players along the sideline, the baseline, or wherever there is room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Each player requires a ball. The instructor tells the players to take an athletic stance and dribble the ball. The coach must demonstrate each style of dribble as well as crucial teaching elements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning Drill Progression The following is a suggested path for teaching basic dribbling techniques to youth players:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drill Progression for Beginners<\/strong> Here’s a recommended progression to teach basic dribbling skills to youth players:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Right hand pound dribble<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Left hand pound dribble<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Half circle right hand<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Half circle left hand<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Continuous crossovers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. One dribble crossovers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Control dribble right hand<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Control dribble left hand<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This is a good progression to learn the basic fundamentals of dribbling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n
