Things You'll Need:
- At least 2 players
- Basketball
- Cone or Chair
- Hard surface for dribbling
-
Step 1
Players choose a partner.
-
Step 2
Each partner has a ball and are facing each other about 50 feet apart. If you are on a court, a player on each sideline is the perfect distance.
-
Step 3
Place a cone/chair at the mid-point of the partners (about 25 feet from each player). This cone/chair represents the defender.
-
Step 4
During the drill, the partners "mirror" each other.
-
Step 1
Partners call out the other's name to start the drill.
-
Step 2
Upon hearing their name, each player dribbles quickly with their right hand towards the cone/chair.
-
Step 3
Each player passes the cone/chair on the right side and proceeds towards the sideline (e.g. their partner's original position).
-
Step 4
As the player reaches the sideline they come to a two-foot jump stop. At this point the players should be 50 feet apart and facing away from one another.
-
Step 5
Upon completing the jump stop, each partner should pivot towards their partner and assume the Triple Threat Position.
-
Step 6
From Triple Threat Position partners call each other's names to begin the second leg of Speed Dribbling.
-
Step 7
Once the names have been called, each player dribbles quickly with their left hand towards the cone/chair.
-
Step 8
Each player passes the cone/chair on the left side and proceeds towards the sideline (e.g. original position).
-
Step 9
As the player reaches the sideline, they come to a two-foot jump stop. At this point, the players should be 50 feet apart and facing away from one another.
-
Step 10
Upon completing the jump stop, each partner should pivot towards their partner and assume the Triple Threat Position.
-
Step 11
If doing the complete "Mirror Dribbling" Series, the partners would proceed to the next dribble skill.
