Crossover Dribbling Drills

Now we are going to get into the most important aspect the ball handling making sure that the kids learn to dribble the ball with the first two ridges and their knuckles right in this area where the first two joints of the fingers you should not have any other part of your hand touch the basketball. The other thing is for the first time instead of dribbling on top of the ball, we are going to be working with the edges of the basketball. So we are talking about the first two joints and the edges of the ball. First thing we are going to do is push pull with our dominant hand.

Very important drill, you can see it is just finger tips and they have their hand on the edges of the ball to the right and to the left let us go to our weak hand. Let us go back to our dominant hand take three dribbles, push, and cross over to our weak hand. Three dribbles, push, and cross over to our weak hand. Three dribbles and cross over. Good job. All right, now we are going to push, pull, push, pull and push it all over the other side push, pull, and across. I think this is one of the best stationary ball drills that a person can do. This teaches kids how to handle the ball and also have a cross over dribble. It is a great drill right there. Keep going and push.
