If you're a beginner...

young1 wrote: The first thing you should do is work on your dribbling/ball handling skills. A good ball handler will be able to get to spots on the court that will create easier shots for yourself and your teammates (by passing). when you dribble, bend your knees and stay low to the ground and dribble as hard and fast as possible. for you guys, its probably pretty slow and uncoordinated but its ok, you get better with repetition....when you get a little better, some drills that help me are dribbling with your eyes closed (muscle memory increases faster this way) and dribbling tennis balls (theyre alot harder than basketballs so if you can dribble these, you can dribble a basketball). thats about all you should be working on for now...
