Continuous Walking Reverse Between the Legs Tennis Ball Basketball Drill

 

Being a good ball handler requires you to dribble the basketball without having to look down and focus on your dribbling. Tennis ball basketball dribbling drills are great because they cause you to focus on the tennis ball and not the basketball.

This specific basketball dribbling drill will work on the reverse between the legs move, but it will incorporate a tennis ball that the player must toss and catch each time they do the move. By having to toss and catch the tennis ball, they will have to complete the move quicker, keep their eyes up, and work on their hand-eye coordination. As much as basketball drills like this work on ball handling, they also are great for developing touch. So whether you are a guard or a post player, this is a great drill to use in your workouts.
