This fun dribbling game can be used to develop both ball handling skills or be used as a fun warm up drill for middle school kids. It also allows basketball players to learn to keep their eyes up, control the ball and use both hands. As well as teaching dribbling, players without the ball learn body movement fundamentals, like starting and stopping, change of pace and change of direction running as well as spatial awareness. A great dribbling game for building confidence.
Basketball Equipment Needed
Minimum 2 different coloured balls. You will also need a playing area approximately 15 feet x feet or within the 3 point line or half court depending on numbers.
