Ball Handling

Between the Legs:When you're dribbling between your legs be sure you're only using this tip at a good time. This move is used to change direction. Once you're defended and you want to switch direction you dribble with one hand then quickly put one leg in front of the other (still dribbling) then dribble through your legs while catching it with the other hand then if you want you can continue dribbling the other direction.
Crossover Dribble:This can be an easy tip to learn and will also look cool. While you're dribbling with one and you crossover to the other hand by taking one dribble to that hand. Once you get the hang of it try dribbling lower.
Hesitation Move:Begin by dribbling fast past your defender then slow down so that the defender thinks that your stopping, fake a jump shot (don't stop then fake just act as if you're going to make the shot) and then fly past your defender.
Studder Step Move:Start by dribbling fast to the basket, jump stop, then take a hard step towards the basket. You'll find this easier to get past the defense while trying to make a layup.
Figure 8 Dribble:This move can be done if you start out with the "between the legs" tip. All you do is dribble through one leg then the other over and over again until you want to stop.
Keep in Mind:Your coaches will always like it if you can dribble with both hands and they also don't like a showoff.

B.E.E.F.:Remembering the word "Beef" can help you remember all the steps on how to become a better shooter. B-balance-make sure your on or behind the foul line(depending on how far you jump while shooting)and balance yourself. E-eyes-look at the rim. E-elbow-make sure your elbow is in line with the basketball hoop. F-follow through-make sure you do this while releasing the ball.
Balance in shooting:Your body has to be balanced and your feet should be shoulder width apart so your able to get a strong shot and your strongest foot should be a half step in front of the other (whatever foot you put out should be at the same side your strongest hand is shooting). Finally look at the rim and follow through.
Form Shooting:This can be a good tip for beginners. Get a partner and practice shooting at each others heads. This should improve your technique for shooting.
Give your shot some arch:Make sure while shooting to give your shot arch. This will give you a softer shot.
Good Shooters:While practicing your shooting skills make sure to practice the shots you'll make in a game. If you make alot of bad shots you probably won't make much in a game.
Good Advice:When you begin practicing your shooting skills try to shoot closer to the basket and then slowly shooting farther away.
7-up:This is a good way to improve your skills in this one player game. Start by shooting an easy shot (layups) and shoot seven of those in a row. If you miss just start over until you make every shot. After making seven shots move to a more difficult position to shoot by making it six times. Continue doing this until you reach one and when you reach one, move to a very difficult position.
Shot Fakes:When you're going to shoot but there's a defender in front of you you should use the shot fake and then step around them for a layup.

Around the World:cirlcle the ball around your head, knees, and waist.
Between the Legs Scissors:start with your left leg in front of your left. Then starting with your right hand dribble through your legs and catch the ball with your left. Swich legs and continue dribbling through your legs again then once you get the hang of it start dribbling faster.
Catch-Catch-Catch:Start off with your legs spaced away from eachother. Then hold the ball in between your legs then switch your hands back and forth quickly while catching the ball.
Figure 8:Spread your legs apart from eachother then catch the ball with one hand in between your legs quickly.Situp Dribble:Dribble the ball with one hand while doing situps.
