Number Drill 2 Basketballs Single Move

 

Great basketball ball handlers can dribble the basketball while also thinking the game and keeping their eyes up to read the defense. The number drill is a great way to develop the player’s ball-handling and work on thinking simultaneously. When a number is called, the player will have to quickly think about where they should go while also handling the basketball.

You can also use this basketball dribbling drill to work on the player’s conditioning. The longer the basketball drill goes for, the more the player will be working on conditioning and thinking while they are tired. It is a great drill to do at the end of basketball training because it really tests the player’s mental toughness.
