10-Minute Ball Handling Drill

Goal: control the ball with either hand without looking down.

1) Stationary dribbles (2 min)

• Right hand 30 sec, left hand 30 sec, alternating crossover 30 sec, between-the-legs 30 sec
• Stay low, pound the ball hard, eyes up

2) Cone dribbling (4 min)

• Set 5 cones in a line, 4 feet apart
• Dribble through with crossover at each cone. 4 reps right-hand dominant, 4 reps left-hand dominant

3) Full-court moves (2 min)

• Dribble the length of the court (or driveway): crossover at half, behind-the-back at the 3-point line, finish with a layup

4) Weak hand only (2 min)

• Everything with the non-dominant hand. This is where real improvement happens
