Probably the best and most efficient way to work on ball handling is just playing 1v1.
Here are some new games that work on:
1️⃣ creating off the dribble
2️⃣ finishing with a live defender
To locate all the 1v1 videos (25+ vids now) just go to the video section, click basketball skills and find the 1v1 section in the upper right corner 😉

Great stuff Joerik! We used to work on this “ultimate guard” drill a lot, but we used both sides of the court for more reps. “Finish vs help side” is also a tremendously good setting, especially for younger players when learning finishing moves. When they got a sense of it we put this knowledge into action using this drill and seeing how they read and react in such a tight space. The best thing is when your practice is also your experimental poligon.
Big Ups from Slovenia!
Awesome drills! Can’t wait to get back to the court to try these with U-21!
