4 Chair Back Up Dribble

Categories: Ballhandling / Dribbling  
Ages: All Ages  Youth  Middle School  High School+  

Purpose of the Drill:

Work on the back up dribble (high reps) and simulate game situation.

Instructions

  • First player dribbles at chair, stops, protects the ball, bounces back pushing off the inside foot using the back up dribble.
  • After backing up the player then attacks the next chair and backs up (repeating process).
  • Players should watch the rim the entire time.
  • Once first player gets to second chair, the second player in line can start.
  • Once all players finish, the first player starts again attacking the chair using the left hand working all the way around.
  • This is a great way to get lots of reps practing the back up dribble in a small space and get players to look at the basket.
  • After players are done a variation is to allow players to cross between the legs and go for a lay up after the back up dribble.

Points of Emphasis:

  • Protect the ball.
  • Keep eyses on rim
  • Attack the chair
  • Bounce back quickly and cover lots of distance (so they create plenty of space from the defense).
