Dribbling Drills to Improve Your Game

Dribbling is arguably the most important part of basketball — second only perhaps to shooting. But while shooting may be the end goal of the sport, dribbling is the foundation upon which everything else depends.

Without dribbling, there is no movement. There are no drives to the basket, no lay-ups, no quick fake-outs or skillful maneuvers. It is often the player’s only tool to advance toward the basket.

That’s why you should see dribbling as a rudimentary skill where no amount of practice is too much. Because it’s feeling-based, perfecting dribbling is only possible with repetition. You really need to get to know the weight and behavior of a basketball in your hands. The great news is you can perform any of the following exercises at your own home court so you need nothing more than a residential space to improve your touch. Here we explain drills that will improve your touch, agility and confidence in handling the ball.
