Coach Dan

Coach Dan Speaks:

Dribbling is one of basketball’s fundamental skills and with the right drill, players can quickly advance their technique. One effective drill is to have the basketball holder move their hand from side to side, quickly tapping the ball on the outside of their body! This type of dribbling requires focus and encourages control over quick movement. By practicing this simple drill regularly, basketball players will quickly gain a greater level of mastery over the basketball — giving them an edge on the court.
