10-Minute Dribbling Drill
Goal: comfortable with the ball at your feet at walking speed, then jogging speed.
1) Toe taps & rolls (2 min)
- Alternate feet tapping the top of the ball. Then roll the ball side to side with the sole.
2) Cone weave — inside foot (3 min)
- Set 5 cones 3 yards apart. Dribble through using only the inside of the foot. 4 reps.
3) Cone weave — outside foot (3 min)
- Same setup, use only the outside of the foot. 4 reps.
4) Free dribble with changes of direction (2 min)
- Dribble in open space, make sharp cuts every 5-10 touches. Use both feet.
The best dribblers keep the ball close. If the ball gets more than 2 feet away, slow down.
