Out of 30 other kids he plays with, some are very good, they all have the same challenge. This just takes time.
Just keep doing dribbling drills where they need to keep their head up. There are hundreds of them. If they are fun and competitive, that is better. In a couple years he'll start picking his head up more consistently. Remember, coaching youth basketball is a marathon, not a sprint!
Be very patient. Thanks for the reply! I really try to keep in mind everything you guys have said about long term development, but sometimes it's hard lol. Their games are really kind of silly because it's a big chaotic mess, we get a lot more out of practice dribbling around the kitchen table lol, but I've tried to have him focus on basics like ball handling, passing, rebounding, and effort rather than winning or losing. Thanks again for the reply and the site in general!.
Great stuff. I could really use this in my basketball career!. John - This is a video from one of the greatest coaches of all times Little things make big things happen. I know that you are young but set some goals for yourself Now its up to you, the ball is in your court.
John - While you have been playing the game for several years now, you can never know to much about the game and how to play it. Keep an open mind about things and you will only get better. There is more to playing defense than defending your man. When you stop learning, thats the time to stop playing. I'm not a Kobe fan or even LeBron, but they are great players. I am a Bulls fan and even Michael Jordon got better every year Good luck, have fun playing this great game and keep an open mind.
Dudes if u need any defending drills oru do anything. Not helpful. At all. Kuda, If the hesitation crossover is a move that you execute really well, the counter move would be the hesitation in-and-out move. I think that's what you meant. I usually like to take what a player does well and add counters to that. For example, maybe you have a great hesitation move.
Why not use that move until the defense stops you? When they do stop you, have a counter to the hesitation move. The likely counter would be some sort of change of direction dribble.
Since the defense usually have to be close to you to stop you from executing the hesitation move, I like to use a move that changes direction while protecting the ball from the defense. A crossover or between the legs dribble may work but you are risking placing the ball in a place where it's easier for the defense to steal.
That's why I prefer the behind the back or the wrap around the back dribble as a counter to the hesitation move. That's just my preference. That doesn't mean you can't do a hesitation crossover. Personally, I think the hesitation or change of speed variations are the best moves that a player can use. When you get really good ONE hesitation or change of speed move, add a change of direction counter to it. So my primary move could be a hesitation crossover then my 2nd move an in out?
Which would you say would be the most efficient moves of them all. Please reply to my email address thanks. Ty - Its too bad you couldn't have gone to Don Kelbicks camp in Illinois Don talks about attacking the defender, for example, IF you are going to your right, IF you can get your lead foot along side of his, you have him beat. He will be chasing you, so its the first step that is important, take the ball to the basket. To become a master of loose AND tight handles you have to practice both of them daily.
For example, if you are working on stationary crossovers you would perform one set of crossovers at waist height and let the ball get away from the body similar to the AI hanging cross.
Then on the next set do your crossovers below hip height. You can even do a third set focusing on crossovers below the knees. Teach yourself to handle the ball at various levels instead of doing all of your drills in the low position. For more blog posts and youtube videos be sure to subscribe!

You can improve ball handling without a ball simply by mimicking drills or movements that would usually be performed without a ball. Ball handling is one of the most important basketball fundamentals.
It allows players to move around the court while protecting the orange. It also allows them to eliminate their defender in 1v1 situations. Understanding the basics of ball handling is essential if you want to become a complete basketball player.
