Nice!!!!! Drill..

this videos are fantastic. please how can i download it?

Right now, there is not a way to download them. We'll let you know if that option becomes available.

Like the idea of the drills, but the execution in the video is not ideal for transferring to a game situation - the players are doing most of the activities with their eyes down on the balls.

Sure eyes up makes these advanced dribbling drills more difficult, but more game-like as players improve their ability to see the game action while dribbling.....!

Appreciate your time making these available.

I plan on using some of the drill at a sport camp fro special olympics this summer thanks much.

WOW!!! these drills r amazing... y couldn't i have found your website sooner!!! Keep up the good work!

thanks for the drills but i would love to have some videos to down load for free,thanks to all of u.

Thank you so VERY much for publishing this website. This site, along with the UIL site (our State governing body) help me to feel better equipped for my first year coaching assignment. (7th grade girls basketball). I am so excited that our girls will be better athletes by the end of this season!This information is superbly organized and presented with nothing left to the imagination! Thanks!

our sons have gain so much from your site THANK YOU for the video footage it is a great tool to have.

I like how you tell us where to dribble our coach tells us nothing!

Thanks I'm always looking for new fun drills for the kids!!

pls could you send me a video tape.

Question -- what does the shoulder high dribble work on? I'm constantly reminding players to keep the ball near the waistline, so I'm curious as to how allowing the ball to be so high is helpful. Thanks for filling me in.

Hi Brad,

There are probably more reasons, but there are two that I can think of:

1. In basketball, things never go as you want it. There will be times that the player may lose the ball or just have to start dribbling the ball at shoulder height.

2. Helps improve overall ball handling. If you have ever tried doing dribbling that high, it's very difficult to do.

all the stuff in your page has helped me, thanks

how often and how long do you think i should practice these dribbling drills? my ball handling is ok right now

Hi Luis,

The amount of time you practice can depend on your weaknesses and strengths, age, position, and so on, but a general number would be 5 to 10 minutes.

im training to be a referee and any information come handy

Outstanding website!! This has helped me improve my daughter's game ten folds. I really appreciate the time and energy devoted to put this out for those of us not fortunate to have dedicated coaches. Most coaches (HS level) don't teach fundamentals, at least in my area. Thank you BTB!

Thanks so much! I'm not a coach, but a 12 year old player! This site has helped me out so so much!! Thanks!!!

Great video of drills...I believe it will motivate my eight grader to improve her ball handling.
Are there any specific drills for improving the left hand?

Hi Warren,

Every move or dribbling drill, I would do two to three times as much with the left hand until it catches up with the right hand.

Whenever she is walking around with the ball, dribble with the left hand.

i like all the drills, very interesting and educational. please let me know how can i download it! thank you very much!

thanks a lot i'm a 15 year old coach and i need some ball-handling drills for my U14 and U12 boys teams. Not to mention myself as well.

I am young couch . iwould like to know some drills and trainings of basketball. if you mind send me some. thanke very much

this is a very good drill
i have been using them is the house

There's so much on here I havent really even cracked down to study yet. I appreciate this a LOT though, new to varsity and the team so this helps.

Is this Guillermo Diaz doing the drills???
He is a monster thats for sure...It is great to see the drills being demonstrated by Pro players.

Carlos, I believe it is Guillermo Diaz, because Don Kelbick has worked with him. However, I'm not certain.

My high school has just fired the head coach of the jv team and I became the new head coach and i went ahead and have used almost all of my practices with the drills that you have shared with me, and I must say the girls are so much happier and the drills are fun and i want to thank you for your help. Im new to coaching its just amazing to me to see how the ladys attitudes have changed for the better with most of these drills....thanks again

Thank you very much.I need your help in the future too.

hey i just wanted to ask i am a right handed player and i wanted to start using my left hand in basketball i read all of the stuff i should practice but don't know how long i should practice or what i should do on my free time when i watch my dad play basketball when i have a basketball in my hands?

Wow... this is wonderful!
Great if we teach our players such drills...

Great web page

I coach a boys team (age 10) in Norway and have used the Breakthrough Drill book a lot. Great Help. However, the big difference in skills (new comers and "veterans" with 2 years playing time) between players make it a challenge implementing drill. I would need a drill where they have to share the ball and spread out. Sometime they swarm the ball like mosquitoes or just try to do everything by them self.

Per, that is very common for that age group. You could try putting marks on the floor for where they should be. You could also run this drill: http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/drills/basicspacingdrill.html

i plan on playin for the team at school so will these drills help perform better?

is there anyway now to download videos of the drills you have?
