I play pick up games every day (normally games like 21) and can shoot, but I don't develop any real skills aside from shooting. Would you guys mind telling me some drills I could do to improve in other areas?

speed drills, dribbling drills, and passing drills.
speed drills - you run a lot so you get used to the speed that your legs give you and you won't get tired easily in the game. run around the basketball court maybe minimum 5 times and your running speed will increase and gradually become easier for you. Oh and suicides are good too. (If you don't know what that is..its kinda complicated to explain because i've never explain it before...so you'll figure it out or look it up)
dribbling drills (this may help you a lot) - take the basketball, starting it in your strongest hand and dribble down the court without losing it until you reach the baseline at the other end. then pivet and crossover it to your opposite hand and repeat what you just did. you can also do that by dribbling with your strongest then crossovering it to your weakest around the b-ball court running or walking.
crossover drills - well, lets say your strongest hand is your right. start out dribbling to up diagonal right. take about three steps and then crossover to your left and go up diagonal left and take another three steps then crossover it to your right and continue the procedure. that'll help your crossover passes hopefully :]
passing drills - just get a buddy and stand a distance away from them then either bounce pass, overhead pass, chest pass, and any other ways of passing to them. You can do that standing still at first. Then, you stand at the left or right side of the b-ball court and your friend stands at the left or right. then, if you or your friend has the ball, you begin running sideways down the court bounce passing it, chest passing it, overhead passing it, etc. all the way until you reach the end of the base line and do that again on your way back switching sides if you please.
Hope that helps! Sorry, i had to get that all from memory of the kind of practices/drills that I practice. :]

OK why do not you take a look at looking your energy. Weight watchers does a factor wherein you get a unique quantity of elements an afternoon (Around 20 or 25) and a factor is approximately 50 energy. If there may be alot of fiber, it'll be much less elements. Since you're a child it could be approximately 30 elements an afternoon, and even 35. Just watch your energy, what you devour, and the fats in it! And additionally, do not fear! Plus, weight watchers helped my instructor lose 23 kilos due to the fact January! My mother is on it and she or he has additionally misplaced weight by means of looking energy! Sorry you're too younger for WW, however simply looking energy/fats is handy!

Practice dribbling running full speed up and down the court, then practice crossovers: take five dribbles going slightly to your left, then crossover going slightly to your right, up and down the court a few times. Put chairs or cones if you need defenders to go around. Make sure to protect the ball by putting your other arm out as well as looking up. Look at the ball if you have to at first, but practice looking up.
Passing is best done against a brick wall, such as one outside. Bounce pass, then chest pass. Look for a spot on the wall, aim for it, and hit it over and over again.
Keep playing pickup games, 21 is good for rebounding and 1 on 2 drills as well as pressure defense, but develop the fundamentals on your own time afterward. Good luck.

1. work on lateral strengthening and speed. This will allow you to get a quick first step.
2. Hand eye coordination is also key. Work on quickness in your hands by dribbling around pylons, alternating using left and right hand.
3. Practice against a wall using your weak hand to pass above your head, waist height, then underhand. Doing this will enable both hands to be a strength.
I am left handed and, when I played, everyone played to my strong side, which was my left. I used to dribble to my right and flew by many faster players because I could shoot fairly well with either hand. Believe it or not, your "weaker" hand has quicker reflexes if you played baseball, due to the glove hand was used for catching.
Lastly, go from your strong hand, with ball, and quickly go to your other hand in dribble, taking your first step in that motion. When you master that without giving it away, you will be able to use it effectively.
