Heel kicks

Coach Dan Speaks:

Mastering basketball dribbling drills can be challenging, but one exercise that all players should embrace is learning ’Heel kicks’. With this drill, you bring your heels as high as you can when you are dribbling the basketball and then drop to a low crouch. Doing this will help to build strength in the ankles and improve overall stability while handling the basketball. Heel kicks also help to increase reactivity and explosiveness on the court which is essential for quicker ball handling movements. Make sure to practice this drill regularly as it is an invaluable part of basketball training and will make a big difference in your game!
