Heads Up Direction Change

Teach players to dribble with heads up

Instructions

Along the center court line space out 4 to 5 players facing you. You should be off the court at center court. Instruct your players to move while dribbling in whichever direction you move – side to side, forward and backwards. Change direction without words so they have to keep their eyes on you. As they progress change directions more quickly and move faster.

Tips

Loss of dribble during the drill should have some penalty.
