Spending this afternoon shooting some hoops with your kids, niece and/or nephew? You should probably take this opportunity to start teaching them the fundamentals of the dribble drive. You should definitely work on some ball handling drills.
After all, if they can play the point for Calipari, they’ll be on their way to the NBA. That means you’ll be on your way to spending Thanksgiving in Maui every year, not just when the CATS are playing.

To set you on your way, Coach Cal has put together the perfect training aid. It’s “Point Guard Drills For The Dribble Drive Motion Offense”.
[QUOTE=Ollstar.net]Calipari cranks up the workout with intense, purpose driven warm-up drills. Each drill uses a ball and develops ball quickness and handles. These drills will have your guards moving the ball around on the dribble, protecting the ball from deflections and steals and blowing by defenders.
To finish the practice, Calipari has his guards play a continuous full court 1-on-1 drill that progresses into a 2-on-2 that forces players to score on the fastbreak, guard the dribble and play through the physical nature of the opponent.
This skill workout will teach your players to handle the ball with both hands, shoot the ball with both hands and develop their ball quickness. And it will provide you with coaching cues and techniques for training and developing your players. Implement this workout into your program today.
