DRILL OF THE MONTH
Monday, February 15th, 2010
“100/100/200″
You are sitting on the floor and the ball starts in your right hand and you will be using a “finger-tip dribble”.
1. You perform 100 “finger-tip dribbles” with your right hand.
2. Then lift both of your legs up and and dribble under both legs (while still sitting) and perform 100 “finger-tip dribbles” with your left hand.
3. Then lift up your left leg and perform 200 “finger-tip dribbles” with both your right and left in a “1-2 rhythm/alternating dribble” in the middle of both legs.
Once you get pretty good with it, you can time yourself and finish the drill in 2 minutes, then 1:45, then 1:30, so on and so forth. Continuing to beat your time and making your hands work harder.
Benefits of “100-100-200″
This will increase the speed and quickness in your hands, which you can use not only on the offensive end (getting shot off quicker, quicker and more intimidating dribble, pass the ball quicker) but also on the defensive end (deflecting passes and dribbles, stealing the ball, etc.).
