Jr. NBA at Home: 100 Dribble Drill
From Jr. NBA. Watch here or open it on YouTube .
Follow the Jr. NBA sequence exactly once, then slow the weak-hand sections until bounce height and hand position match the strong side.What this lesson is really solving.
Use fingertips and hand control without slapping, keep the ball outside the feet, and gradually move attention away from the floor. Practice height, rhythm, direction, protection, and both hands before combining moves.
Understand the idea before touching the steps.
The dribble creates angle and timing; it is not just bouncing faster.
Follow these steps in order.
Take the action in each step; then use the deliverable below to prove the lesson is finished.
- 1
Pound the ball below the waist with fingertips and relaxed wrist while keeping eyes forward.
- 2
Practice stationary right, left, crossover, between-leg, and behind-back patterns only as control allows.
- 3
Move through straight lines, retreats, hesitations, and direction changes using the off arm and body to protect space legally.
- 4
Finish each repetition with a balanced stop, pass fake, or shot pickup so the dribble connects to a basketball action.
See the standard in context.
Taylor performs the 100-dribble sequence at waist height, then repeats selected sets below the knee and in a protective stance. Every loss is counted, but speed increases only after two clean rounds while reading numbers held up by a partner.
Inspect before you move on.
- The off arm protects space legally without pushing.
- Both hands complete the same planned volume.
- Eyes can leave the ball during controlled stationary reps.
Your deliverable
A 15-minute handling circuit with equal weak-hand volume and measured mistake counts.
