Below are 30 dribbling drills for basketball coaches to use during practice. The drills require anywhere from 1 to 5 players.

If you're a player working out on your own, you should also check out our individual player drills section.

Each drill below has unique purpose and emphasis -- but with all dribbling drills you want to emphasize:

Dribbling with eyes up.

Using finger pads to control the ball.

Working both left and right hand.

Push yourself, get out of your comfort zone (if you're not making some mistakes you're not getting out of your comfort zone).

Stationary dribbling drills are great for warm up, introducing new skills to beginners, and getting lots of touches (high number of reps in short amount of time).

You can use these drills at all levels (youth to the pros) but stationary drills should NOT be the only drills you use! It's very important to also use more game-like dribbling drills that incorporate movement and defenders (shown in categories below).
