Dribbling

Playname : Dribble slide

1 The x`s are defensive players.Have them just stay away from offensive players about a arm`s lenght.This is good pratice for defensive slides and to learn to keep correct distance from offensive player.Have your offensive player dribble 2 or 3 times to the right,and then do a switch over and dribble 2 or 3 times to the left,and have the defense keep proper distance.This is not a drill to let the defense steal the ball,so don`t allow it.Just put some presure on the ballhandler.

3 this is done either full court,half court,or even sideways as diagramed.Make your players work up some speed,and have your dribblers stop going in a certain direction after 2 or 3 fast dribbles.Also you can do it left handed down,and right handed back up the court. Tip for defensive players: when doing the defensive slides,keep off your heels,stay on the balls of your feet,and keep your heels up,you move faster that way.Don`t be caught flatfooted. Go across court and start over and then switch off.You also may have to match players up against each other according to speed,etc.
