Skills - Dribbling Cowns

Many professionals use drills like this to warm their fingers up before they begin shooing, and it also improves ball handling skills. You will need five chairs spaced out in a straight line roughly 5ft apart to give you a little room to move but this gap can be made smaller as your ability progresses. You will begin on the baseline and dribbling up the sideline going through the legs back and forth until you reach the halfway line. Turning around you will approach the chair of which you will dribble to and crossover. Now start on the right crossing to the left and continue to the next chair left handed and then crossing over two the right at the next chair. It is important that you feel comfortable with having the ball in both hands so you don’t have a weakness and coach’s can’t tell their plays to sit on your strong hand. Keep your head up during these drills so you can see the floor and not miss passes when these moves are required. Maybe pick a point on a wall and keep focused on that throughout. Once you have the skill down begin to speed up but stay in control.
