Re: Dribblin help
here is another program
Crazy Handles Program
Warm Up
Ball Pounds: Hold the ball in front of your body with one hand. Pound the ball from the hand that it is in to the other hand, which is empty. Move the ball all around; rotate it so you?re not pounding the same spot over and over again. Try to get a feel for the ball. Do this about 35 times.
Drills
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1: Sit in a chair. Dribble the ball with your right hand 10 times as fast as you can, keeping the ball as low to the ground as you can. As soon as you dribble ten times immediately switch the ball to your left hand and do the same, without stopping in between. Once you do that, go back to your right hand and dribble nine times as fast as you can, then switch it back over to your left hand and do the same thing. Repeat going down by one until you reach one and then just keep dribbling as low and fast as you can, alternating hands. Go for about 30 seconds once you reach 1.
Finger Dribble: This is a great exercise for increasing strength in the fingers as well as grip for each finger. Start by dribbling the ball with your thumb. Then move on to your index finger and do the same with all your fingers and move on to your other hand. Do about 15 each finger.
Wall Dribble: Stand in front of a wall. Hold a ball in your hand and then dribble it against the wall. Do the same for both hands. Do 50 twice with each hand.
Ball Slaps: Put a basketball on one hand then slap it over to your other hand quickly. Do this repeatedly as quickly as possible. Only use your fingers and wrists to move the ball. Do this in front of your chest, straight out in front of you, with your arms straight pointing towards the floor, with your arms straight pointing up, and with your arms straight continuously moving up and down. Do about 200.
Circles: There are 4 types of Circles: Head, Waist, Legs, and Corkscrew. The first 3 you just circle the ball around what it says as fast as you can. Once you do 3 of those, do the corkscrew. You go head, waist, legs, waist, head without stopping. Try to do it both clockwise and counter clockwise. Do about 20 rotations at each spot.
Walking The Dog: There are three parts to this drill; low medium and high. For medium: start by extending your right leg out in front of your body. Then lower yourself a little so you are sturdy. Dribble the ball back to front, dribbling about knee high. For low: dribble as low to the floor as possible in the same fashion. For high: stand up straight and dribble as high and far as you can. The pattern for this drill is medium-low-medium-high-medium-low-medium-high-medium. Dribble about 15 times at each height. Do both hands.
V Dribble: Same as Walking The Dog but do it in front of your body. Use the same dribbling pattern; m-l-m-h-m-l-m-h-m. Do 15 reps at each position. Do both hands.
Bounce: Same as Walking The Dog but do it straight up. For high do controlled shoulder dribbles, for medium do protection dribbles, and for low dribble as low and fast as you can while protecting the ball with your off hand. Use the same dribbling pattern; m-l-m-h-m-l-m-h-m. Do 15 reps at each position. Do both hands.
Cool Down
Finger Stretch: Press each finger against the same one on the opposite hand. Hold for 30+ seconds.
Thats the first month.
Do this everyday for a month then start month two. This month focuses on pushing and pulling.
The whole program should take about a 20 minutes a day. Feel free to do any other exercises on top of these.
