It can be fairly hard to find ways on practicing you dribbling so here are some drills you can work on.
1. Stretch. Stretching is very important for first timers because they are trying something new and your body won't be used to it. Even if you are not a beginner you still have to stretch so you dont pull anything
2. Dribble with you strongest hand without moving for about 50 bounces. Ounce you completed your 50 switch hands. If you are just starting out it can be really hard with you bad hand so just keep practicing.
Advanced ( Ounce you think you got a hang of it try dribbling them without looking at the balls)
3. Next start dribbling with 2 balls at the same time. Try making them even and bounce them at the same time
4. After you have mastered the first 2 step try doing crossovers. Crossovers is basically switching hands with the ball. Grab a chair and place is about 2ft in front of you. Grab a ball and dribble with your better hand. Dribble for about 3 seconds and do a crossover (Switch the ball with your other hand.) Ounce your cross over the ball should be on your opposite hand. When you have mastered it do the cross over but run past the chair and do a layup.
5. Practice your lows and highs. Try dribbling up to your chest for 2minutes. When time is up don't stop but bring the ball lower and dribble as low as it can bounce for about 1 minute. It can be a bit hard so you can try 1 minute high 30 seconds low. Ounce you finish with the first hand switch to your next.
Tip.(Try adding a minute for each cycle you do)
6. Grab a partner and stand about 10ft away. Grab 1 ball and 1 tennis ball. Start dribbling with your bad hand at about thighs hight. Ounce you are ready throw the ball to you partner ounce he catches it he will throw it to you either up in the air, straight to you, or just rolls it to the ground. This is a hard drill it focuses on control and balance.
Ounce you've mastered these step you will be ready for my advances Program coming soon next we will focus on Layups so click on my next post. These basketball drills will get harder and harder to watch out!
