As we know dribbling is a key component of basketball. Proper dribbling takes practice and patience.
Players should start with stationary drills and move into more movement drills with each of the steps.
A great drill brought to my attention and used by my players as well as students is the "Isiah 7". It's simple and easy and can be perfected without much effort.
Best part you don't need much space. Do this in the driveway, sidewalk, patio, basement, garage, etc.
Below is a video taken by Coach Barry Thompson with Leila Thompson performing the drill.
The 7 steps are:
1) right side dribble
2) left side dribble
3) Side V, right hand
4) Side V, left hand
5) Front V, right hand
6) Front V, left hand
7) Crossover
Make sure the players keep good basketball positioning with their heads up while dribbling.
