Introduction to Basketball Drills

Basketball is one of the most accessible sports for novices to play.  Anyone can step onto a court and have a good time.  To play basketball with precision and control, however, requires a lot of practice.  Here are some drills you can practice to improve in the areas of ball handling, passing, shooting, and defense.

If any of the terminology used is unclear, please use the Terminology Page

All basketball drills described are rated according to three levels of difficulty:

Novice: Novice-level drills are appropriate for people who have never played basketball before, or have little organized basketball experience.

Intermediate: Intermediate-level drills are appropriate for anyone who is completely comfortable with the novice-level drills and are playing at about a junior high school level.

Advanced: Advanced drills are for skilled players who are interested in playing at about a high school level.  Advanced players would still benefit from doing any of these drills, including the novice-level drills.  We recommend warming up with the novice drills and moving on to more advanced drills.


Ball Handling Drills--Dribbling and Ball handling explained, plus drills for the novice to intermediate/advanced

Passing Drills--the three types of passes explained, with drills for all levels included
