Basketball Dribbling Drills – Agility Ladder Dribbling

I use an agility ladder for many of our basketball dribbling drills. This is a good drill for people who are right handed but cannot dribble well with their left hand (or vice-versa).

Take an agility ladder which has 10-12 bars which are spaced 10-12 inches apart and have your player dribble with the weak hand through each space in the agility ladder using 20 seconds as a guideline for starters. Then work your way up to being able to do it in 12-15 seconds and then work your way up to dribbling through the ladder without looking at the basketball.

Then start dribbling two times in each space in the agility ladder with 12-15 seconds as your time limit.
As the player gets better, the coach can lower the time limit as needed.
