Coach Dan

Coach Dan Speaks:

Basketball players looking to up their dribbling game should try the Zig Zag Speed Drill. Start by placing five cones or other markers in a zig-zag pattern at least seven to eight feet apart. Enter the course at full speed, breaking it down effectively while staying low as you sprint between each cone, changing directions in order to maintain an effective rate of acceleration until you reach the final cone. When you pass the last one, increase your speed even further for an explosive finish! This basketball drill helps improve awareness and control around the basketball court while boosting your agility and accuracy with dribbling drills.
