Basketball Skills: Ball Handling Techniques
Video Podcast with Jeff Dameron
Layman Ward Military Acadamy
In Basketball, "it's critical to learn the proper techniques early on," according to Jeff Damron of Lyman Ward Military Academy. Damron, former Head Basketball Coach for the Academy, shows the young athletes attending Auburn Tigers Basketball Camp what real ball handling is all about. Repetition of correct techniques makes for a strong player. These ball handling techniques work on developing both hands and both feet. Slapping the ball from head to toe, these drills call for speed and repetition. Dribbling drills, including the Stationary Dribble, the Half Crossover, and the Figure Eight, keep the basketball moving side-to-side and behind the back. It's about speed and technique. It's about the art of the game of basketball...and..... it's worth watching no matter how long you've played (or coached) the game. (in conjunction with Jeff Lebo Basketball Camps)
