Up and Downs
Start by dribbling the ball at waist height, directly in front of your body. After several dribbles, start to bounce the ball higher and higher until it's as high as you can handle it without jumping. From there, start bouncing the ball lower and lower until you're dribbling on your knees with the ball as close to the floor as possible. Perform this drill with both hands.
Perimeter Shooting Drill
Hold the basketball at the top of the key. On your coach's whistle, dribble to the left side of the three-point line and then down towards the baseline. Stop about 10 feet from the rim and take a jump shot. Retrieve your own rebound and repeat the drill from the other side of the court. Continue the drill until you're fatigued.
Individual Passing Drill
Grab a basketball and stand several feet from a concrete or solid wall. Start by bouncing a basic chest pass against the wall and trying to catch it while remaining in the same spot. As you improve, take a step or two away from the wall and continue to perform the pass. Try throwing behind-the-back passes and two-handed bounce passes against the wall to improve your accuracy and consistency.
