What are the fifteen ball handling drills?

- Basic Ball Handling Drill: Stand at one end of the court holding two basketballs, one for each hand. Walk toward the other end of the court bouncing a ball with your right hand first, followed by your left. Time this drill so that as the right ball hits the floor, the left ball is being released. As your comfort level rises, pick up tempo. As you progress, you'll be able to run from end-to-end dribbling both balls simultaneously. Doing this will vastly improve your skills when dribbling just one ball.

- Around the World Drill: Stand holding a basketball with both hands. Commence circling the ball around your head, waist, and knees. Bend at the waist and spread your legs, circle the ball around one leg, then the other. This drill is designed to provide a better feel for the ball while also promoting improved hand coordination and speed.

- The Scissors: With your left foot ahead of the right, bounce the ball between your legs starting from your right hand and passed to the left hand. As it bounces, take another step forward. Now the right leg is ahead as the ball passes between the changed positions of your legs. Soon you'll be able to walk at a normal pace, bouncing the ball between your legs from right-to-left and left-to-right with each stride.

- Catch-Catch-Catch: Hold the basketball between your legs with both hands, right hand in front and left hand at the back. Quickly switch hand positions without allowing the ball to drop.

- Figure 8: Spread your legs and circle the ball in a figure 8 pattern around your legs with your head looking forward. Increase speed as you continue the drill. This will help you get a better feel for the ball under fast game-like conditions.

- Figure 8 Dribbling: Bend at the waist and dribble with your fingers going around your legs in a figure 8 pattern. Per other drills, increase speed as you continue.

- Figure 8 Drop: Circle the ball from the outside of your left leg to the outside of your right leg. When it reaches the back between your legs, let the ball drop and reverse your hands to catch the ball before it bounces again.

- Figure 8 Drop Reverse: Practice the drill in tip #8 and when you bounce the ball, reverse your movement. Circle the ball outside your right leg and around your left leg starting from the back to the front.

- Figure 8 Running in Place: Practice the drill in tip #8 but this time run in place

- One on Two: Advance the ball against two imaginary defenders using a variety of maneuvers and previously-learned drills.

- Pass and Catch: Practice the body awareness drill. Bounce the ball with two hands between your spread legs, catching it with both hands behind your back. Then reverse the drill, bouncing the ball from back to front, again using both hands.

- Sit-Up While Dribbling: Do sit-ups while dribbling the basketball with your right hand, then switch hands as you lie down. Now dribble with your left hand as you sit up again. Pick-up speed as you continue.

- Squeeze the Banana: Squeeze your fingers and thumb together as you move the ball quickly from one hand to the other at eye level. Doing so will improve your finger and arm strength for better ball control.

- Touch-Touch-Touch: With the ball between your legs, touch the ball with your right fingers then with your left. Do the same at your back. Continue touching as fast as possible.

- Up the Ladder: Starting in front of your waist, pass the ball from one hand to the other using just your finger tips. This will develop finger tip control for better ball handling.

You'll discover that these drills are not easily mastered. However, regularly practicing these different drills will eventually transform you into a great ball handler.

Championship sports analysts such as Mike Lineback and Jim Kruger may view the Professional Handicappers League's site contests a bit differently, but the bottom line's the same.

The contests not only rev up their competitive juices, they also provide the public a "black and white" opportunity to see for themselves just how well a handicapper is doing in a particular sport versus the competition.

After all, while the handicapping business generates a lot of camaraderie among the various players, it's still, much like professional sports themselves, a dog eat dog industry and one in which the numbers do the talking.

Many boast they're the best, but few actually can document such claims.

Lineback operates a one-man service in Topeka, Kan., while Kruger runs Las Vegas Sports Authority in Sin City.

Currently two of the Top 3 players in the PHL's All-Around standings -- Larry Ness stands between them, with Lineback comfortably on top -- both boast lengthy lists of handicapping achievements, including victories in league contests.

Lineback, a career handicapper, has dominated overall standings for several seasons, winning the Major League Baseball championship in 2005.

He also won the recently completed college hoops contest, has a third-place NFL finish and was an honoree last summer at a league New York-New York ESPN Zone dinner in Las Vegas.

Kruger, previously a stock broker and stand-up comedian, finished fourth in Leroy's College Football Contest last fall competing against the nation's leading schoolboy handicappers and barely was beaten by Steve Merril in the league's NCAA football contest.

He leads the league's 2007 NBA standings and finished third in college basketball.

The two men agree that over the years, scamdicappers have given the entire industry a black eye that still stings, so site contests provide a way for the public to watch the 코인카지노 cream to rising to the top on a weekly basis.

"The sports service business is an industry with zero regulation and (it's) rife with deceptive practices," declared Kruger, noting that he "loves" league contests.

"It is difficult for the prospective customer to separate the wheat from the chaff.

"Having site contests and showing what handicappers are doing well helps the client make an informed choice rather than just listening to what capper has the 'best pitch that day.'

"Providing customers with accurate data on which 'capper does well in which sport(s) will in turn help build long-term clientele for the site overall."

Lineback also emphasizes the importance of honesty, integrity and documentation, but has little to say about the contests, "Since I don't consider ProCappers to be a contest, but (rather) a monitor."

He quickly adds, "However, I do take the contests I enter very seriously because I'm a very competitive person."

Like Lineback, Kruger is not overly aggressive in marketing plays.

He says that makes performing well in contests almost mandatory so he can "stand out from the crowd in another fashion."

"Being in the Top 5 or winning site contests is a great way to be noticed," Kruger said.

"With this understanding, I obviously am very competitive in finishing in the Top 5 in every sport I handicap.

"I am good friends with some of the other cappers in the Professional Handicappers League and that makes the competition even more fun."

Another name to look out for is handicapper George Smeader, who consistently appears in competitions across the board, from the WNBA and CFL to the NBA and college football.

Aaron Glende holds a cushy edge over Vernon Croy in the NHL contest.

It's still early in the Major League Baseball campaign, but the site's two current leaders are Mike Davis and Lenny Del Genio.
