Basketball help

Question
I tried out for the freshmen basketball team and I didn't make it. My left hand dribble is weak and my friend suggested this drill. He said if I dribble 2 basketballs one in each hand, one going up and one going dowm really fast then eventually I will get my left hand dribbling going. Will this work?

Answer
Dear friend,

Well, yes.

This is a good coordination drill that will improve your dribbling, but won't be enough. Try more drills with two balls. You can check out youtube.com to get some ideas.

Check these also.

The first is mainly to improve your handles and the second for dribbling drills.
