Coach Dan

Coach Dan Speaks:

Split stance balance ups offer basketball players a great drill to help improve their dribbling skills. By getting into a split squat position — feet hip wide apart with one foot out front and one foot behind — basketball players can learn to maintain their balance while going up and down in this position. This is especially useful for basketball players who are constantly on the move around the court. Make sure everything is stable from the neck downwards before attempting this drill, and move slowly and deliberately so that you can stay balanced when you pause for a second at the lowest point of the exercise. Doing these split stance balance ups regularly will soon have basketball players dribbling like a pro!
