Youth Basketball: The Figure 8 Roll is Fantastic

This is a great set of drills for all levels, especially players who are learning the game for the 1st time.

FIGURE EIGHT FINGERTIP ROLL – Start with the legs spread shoulders width apart. Begin with the ball on the floor being guided by the right hand. Roll the ball behind the right leg and through the legs to the left hand that is in front of the left leg. Continue to roll the ball with the left hand around the outside of the left leg then between the legs to the right hand that is in front of the right leg. Continue passing the ball in the figure eight pattern. Each time the ball switches counts as one repetition. Repeat the drill in the opposite direction.
