What you have to teach your player in school? 

In primary school, we don't teach the difficult basketball drill to our players(pupils). What we have to teach are Dribbling, Passing, Lay-up and Shooting.If the players are mastered the basic skills. That's mean they can win in the games. Here are the basic skill that's i always coach.

Drill For Dribbling
Spend a few minutes each day on basketball dribbling drills and watch your confidence and skill lever soar! These youth basketball drills and basketball tips are guaranteed to improve any player's ball handing. To legally start dribbling, the player must release the ball from the hands before the pivot foot leaves the floor, otherwise a travel violation will be called. 

Speed Dribble 
  • Head downcourt,dribbling the ball at top speed.
  • Control the ball with finger, not palms.
  • Keep the ball in front but to the side of body.
  • Eyes up and looking ahead.
  • Keep the ball below waist height.
  • Push the ball hard into floor.

Holding the Ball in Preparation

  • Hold the ball in fingers' never the palm.
  • Spread the fingers comfortably.
  • Place non-shooting hand on the side of the ball.
