Basketball on the Edge – The Daily Dozen Ballhandling Drills

After an almost two year run creating video skills training content for Head Start Edge, our online training website, Coach Steve DeBlock and I have decided to make the videos that we’ve produced available to everyone that reads our blog, Basketball on the Edge. I’m very excited to share these videos because I believe they will help your child improve their basketball skill set. This is one more way we hope to provide value to you as a loyal follower of Head Start Basketball.

We’re going to start by presenting a series of videos that demonstrates “The Daily Dozen” ballhandling drills.  All of these drills have been around a long time.  I practiced them every day when I was a kid and I believe they still have tremendous value, especially for young players that are trying to develop their ballhandling skills.  Plus, they’re fun to do!  For the rest of the summer do each drill for a minute, go hard and you’ll be a better ballhandler next fall when your season starts.

Here is an introductory video about the “The Daily Dozen”.
