Weak-hand practice: 50% of dribble reps.

Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Weak Hand Reps

    Dedicate 50% of dribbling practice to your non-dominant hand.

  • Eyes Up

    Practice dribbling while reading the court — ball watching telegraphs your moves.

  • Ankle-Support Shoes

    High-top or mid-top shoes with lateral support reduce ankle sprain risk.

Safety Notes

  • Wear proper ankle-support shoes to prevent sprains.
  • Warm up with dynamic stretches before play.
