Basketball Drills

Drills developed by Coach Kans, Lead Skills Coach · Meet the coaches

Real improvement comes from training one skill at a time with a plan — not random reps. This is a free library of 270+ basketball drills, each with a video demo, organized by what you want to get better at. Pick a goal below, work the drills, and use the app to get AI feedback on your form.

Improve your handle

Pound, crossover, and two-ball work to build control and hand speed.

  • All ball-handling drills →
  • Pound, V-dribble
  • BTL-BTB

Build a jumper

Form-first shooting — groove a clean, repeatable release before adding range.

  • All shooting drills →
  • One-legged form shooting
  • Star shooting drill

Finish through contact

Layups, footwork, and touch to convert around the rim with both hands.

  • All finishing drills →
  • Mikan drill
  • Reverse layup

Pass sharper

Chest, bounce, and outlet passing to move the ball quick and accurate.

  • All passing drills →
  • Bounce pass

Jump higher

Plyometrics and explosive work to add inches to your vertical (train age-appropriately).

  • All vertical-jump drills →
  • Broad jump to vertical jump
  • 2-step jumps

Get game-conditioned

Sprints and agility so you're still explosive in the fourth quarter.

  • All conditioning drills →
  • Pogo jumps
  • Zig-zag speed drill

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Training everything at once — pick one or two goals and give them real reps before moving on.
  • Skipping the fundamentals — control and form come before speed and range.
  • Reps without feedback — you groove whatever you practice, right or wrong; check your form.

Train any of these with a coach in your pocket: record a drill in the Level Up Basketball app and the AI coach grades your form, then builds a workout around what you need.
