The best thing to do to practice is to play with kids with:
1) Bigger and Better
2) Faster and Smarter
3) Can leave you breathless.
Then if you keep on playing with them you'll get better!

You just gotta keep practicing, which may sound like a obvious answer, but that is the only way to get better. Practice dribbling with only one hand at a time first and then practice crossovers. The more you dribble the better you will get. You need to play against good players that will force you to be a good dribbler or else you will get it stolen from you if you play anyone good. It just takes time and practice.

basically sounds like ur lacking the confidence. if u can dribble the ball with no one arond u, and then as soon as defence presents itself ur struggling...then ur lack in confidence could be the issue.
to improve this situation u may need to practise dribbling....doesnt sound like its going to do much, but it will. dribble and imagine a defender in front of u, that will help u play/practise at game speed.
playing some 2 on 2, or 3 on 3 will also help remedy the situation. its all about skill development and you will gain these skills with more patience and practice....good luck

tie something over your eyes so that your are blind and practice dribbling the ball back and forth and as you get better do between the legs and so on! remember to always keep your head up and not down looking at the ball. but like everyone else on this page said keep practiceing

It sounded like you needed experience. Try to participate in a actual pick-up game, do it as often as you can.

do dribbling tests, dribble w/ 2 balls between the legs, dribble really low, and ask a friend to help you

FIRST OF ALL YOU MUST HAVE PATIENCE, IT TAKE HARD WORK PRACTICE AND EFFORT. PRACTICE DIFFERENT HANDLING DRILLS LIKE FIGURE8, BETWEEN LEGS, BACK DRIBBLE, CROSS-OVER, AND MANY MORE. IF YOUR PG TRY TO HAVE GOOD PASSES AND TRICK OR NO LOOK PASSES..................SORRY IF I SOUND LIKE A COACH!!! GOOD LUCK ;)
