THREE-MAN DRIBBLE

A passes to B and sets an inside
screen or block on his imaginary guard.
B breaks out with a dribble across the
floor and makes his last bounce to C

_ who dribbles across the floor and al-
lows his last bounce to go to A. This
crossing may be continued for any

e & number of times, with one dribbler

finally breaking for the basket and the
~ other two men rebounding until the bas-

“*@A ket is made.

This drill stresses the ball handling
7 necessary in picking up the dribble of
3 another man without loss of time. The
\o’ drill may be used by not allowing the
men to catch the ball in both hands but

to continue the other man’s dribble.

 

 

 

 

DRIBBLE OBSTACLE RACE

A number of chairs or other obstacles are
placed at a distance of about 8-10 feet apart
in a straight line down the center of the floor.

The player must dribble in and out through
these obstacles, changing dribbling hands as
he changes his course, using his left hand on
the left side of the obstacle and his right hand
on the right side of the obstacle.

He reverses his course in coming back to
the starting point.

The coach must insist that the men increase
their speed as they become more proficient in
their handling of the dribble technique.

 

DRIBBLE FOR SPEED

This drill is a relay to test the dribbling
speed of the individuals on the teams,

Chairs or obstacles (C) are used to mark the
course for each team. The front man in each
line on the starting command dribbles as fast as
possible around the obstacle and back around the

. other obstacle at the starting point.

By establishing the starting line at the oppo-
site side of the return course of the player and
insisting that the man returning the ball to the
next line use the bounce pass, the coach may
eliminate the unfair practice of passing the ball
before reaching the finish of the course.
