Basketball is a complex sport that requires players to maintain ball control, develop agility and speed, and react quickly to their opponents. To stay competitive in today's basketball landscape, athletes need to practice drills that will help them hone their skills and become the best player they can be. One such drill is the circle dribbling drill, powered by FITLIGHT. With just five lights, you can enhance your ball-handling skills, control, and change of direction abilities while improving your read and react skills and ball-handling instincts.
What is the FITLIGHT® Circle Dribbling Drill?
The FITLIGHT® circle dribbling drill is a great way to improve basketball skills while getting cardio in. The main keys of this drill are:
-
Stay instance
-
Use both hands
-
Maintain quick feet
-
Keep your head up
To perform this drill:
-
Create a large circular area with five FITLIGHTS, and start by standing in the center.
-
Dribble the basketball around the circle, keeping your knees bent and your eyes up while deactivating the lights.
-
While dribbling, vary your speed and change direction frequently, using quick direction changes to move around the circle. You can also practice crossovers and other advanced dribbling techniques while moving around the ring.
This drill helps improve ball control and change of direction as well as read and react skills. This drill helps players develop quick feet, strong ball-handling skills, good hand-eye coordination, and agility. It also enables players with their reaction time by forcing them to switch hands when they reach a light quickly.
How Does FITLIGHT® Enhance this Drill?
FITLIGHT® adds a layer of complexity to this drill by detecting when a player has passed over them. When triggered by a player's foot or hand passing over it, these sensors send signals that display real-time data, such as speed and accuracy, during the entire exercise. With this data, coaches can monitor performance in real-time or review post-drill analytics for further improvement opportunities for athletes. By combining physical activity with technology like FITLIGHT®, coaches can create more engaging drills for players to challenge them continually.
