I need to improve my basketball skills any pointers?

Question

Does anyone know of any drills I could do by myself to improve my shooting and dribbling?

Answer 1

lay down on your back with a basketball and throw it up in the air constantly and catch it when in comes down..... that makes your aiming better when you shoot. also for defence play with your feet... get a partner and let them try to shoot the ball but while you try to defend he or she put your arms and hands behind your back so your footwork can get better and you can get better at defence.

Answer 2

First run A LOT. Running increases your stamina and will help you in games. Before you master your 3 point shooting, you must master the lay up and mid range shot. Don't just do easy lay ups. Practice doing lay ups as if someone was in your way. After you master the mid range, try getting your 3 point range going. If you do that, you'll be in good shape. Also, don't be afraid to take the shot in games. Sometimes people hesitate and lose their chance. What makes a good player a great player is his ability to shoot and drive. Driving to the hoop is very important in basketball. Shooting isn't the only thing. When you're practicing dribbling, first learn to dribble with a tennis ball the way you would dribble a basketball. Don't touch the basketball for a week. Just dribble the tennis ball. When you get used to it or even master it. Go back to the basketball and you will find it a lot easier. Hope this helped.

Answer 3

practice dribbling with a tennis ball anywhere you go so when you them grab a basketball you improve your basketball handling ability. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE constantly . start shooting off close to the basket with set of 5 straight shots and them move outward. dribble the basketball fast and then come to a complete stop to pull up for a jump shot

Answer 4

this may seem strange but try to practice dribbling a tennis ball or one of similar size then when you do a full size it seems so much easier, as far as shooting start further back than usual and work forward this teaches depth perception. I'm 45 years old but that is one thing I remember my high school coach once told me and it helped me during those years.

Answer 5

Go to the nearest park and practice practice PRACTICE. Dribble around shoot foul shots, shoot 3's. Practicing helps. Invite a couple of your friends to go with you so you can get a game on or something. hope this helps

Answer 6

FOR DRIBBLING JUST PERACTICE LOOKING UP AND KEEPING THE BALL IN CONTROLL.SHOOTING...PRACTICE THROWING THE BALL N 2 THE BOX N SHOOTING IN FRONT ETC.AND WHEN UR NOT DOING ANYTHING THROW THE BALL IN THE AIR

Answer 7

you can make a goal on how many lay-ups you can do in a minute or two and try to increase that goal. Or u can do figure eights. you can practice ball handling skills. and just practice none stop. Hope this works!-Bball star

Answer 8

my dads my bball couch and he tells my team to lay on there back with a tennis ball and through it up in the air and if it comes back to the same spot you released it, it would be a accurate shot. keep doing that and once you get soo good that it always come close to the spot you through it your getting better at your shot.

Answer 9

The best solution is to gain control over it. As someone already said, stop when you're getting there and relax. Pay more attention to pleasuring your mate--orally, perhaps--and avoid rubbing your penis up against anything while doing so. It will take work on your part and patience on both parts.

As a last resort, some antidepressants curb sexual functioning with the intention of learning the pleasure of restraint after which you could taper off them. Here's your goal: the longer you can delay your orgasm, the more intense it will be. So it isn't just a matter of satisfying your mate. This is the main reason some claim stoned sex is better, unlike drunk sex which can leave you unable to perform (brewer's droop). You enjoy exploring each other longer. And remember, oral isn't just one place. It's all over, paying particular attention to kissing, and TALK about what each of you like. Strange how people don't talk about sex when they're the ones doing it.
