Basketball Drills Kids Can Do

By Jashua Moses


Starting out with basketball it can seem like you will never get a skilled as other players. Whether you are just starting out or are trying to help someone else start out some basic drills can go a long way. Spending time when you are starting out to correct your form can save you a lot of time down the road.

One of the easiest drills for a beginner is dribbling. Stand in one place and dribble the ball 10-20 times getting a feel for the ball and how it reacts to the court. Once you have done this you can begin moving with the ball while still dribbling it. Keeping the ball at a little above hip height and on one side is a good way to start.

A second drill that the guards are going to need to do is to look at the different tape that is present for them to review. This is not necessarily a physical drill, but it is something that will teach the guards more about what to look for in the play.

Passing is another basic skill everyone who wants to play basketball needs to master. The best drill you can do is to line up and pass the ball across. Try it between two players only to start with and don't move. After you master them movements, you can start passing while moving, as well as passing alternatively to players to your right and to your left.

Playing defense is another thing you need to teach your kids. Without a good defense, games will be dull and kids will lose their interest in playing basketball. You need to keep them motivated to stay alert at all times during a game. That's something a good defense strategy can do.

Having a chance to play basketball as a guard can be a good thing. This is when people should know about the drills that the guards should be doing. When the guards are getting the right drills completed, it is going to be easy for them to get the right training and be able to take the ball and drive it down the court and guide their team to quite a few of wins that the fans are going to want to see.
