Basketball: Figure 8

Very useful format and descriptions of drills. I am using Sportplan...

Tony, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Stand with your knees about shoulder-width apart and bend over slightly. With the ball in your right hand, pass it between your legs in a figure eight motion to your left hand. Swing the ball to the front and then pass it from your left hand back to your right hand through your legs. As with all ball handling drills, start slowly and increase your speed as you get more comfortable.

Cone Dribbling:

Players take it in turns to dribble at the cone and then stop right in front of it and dribble all the way around the cone with controlled fingertip dribbles.

Once a full rotation has been completed then you move on to the next cone.
