Is this class right for my child?

This intermediate class is ideal for players who already have a basic dribbling foundation and can comfortably control the ball. Beginners will progress more effectively in the Dribbling Foundations Class.

What is the main focus of this class?

The class focuses on ball control, pace, rhythm, and pressure composure. Players learn how to handle defenders, protect the ball, and move with purpose in game-like situations.

Does this class include movement-based dribbling?

Yes. Players work on 1v1 movement, ball protection, pace changes, and dribble combinations that improve coordination and decision-making while moving.

How big are the groups?

Group sizes are intentionally small so players receive consistent feedback, direct coaching, and quality reps throughout the session.

What should my player bring?

Players should bring water, indoor court shoes, and a labeled basketball. A simple warm-up routine is encouraged to prepare for higher-paced dribbling segments.

Basketball Dribbling Training for Kids in The Woodlands

Intermediate Ball-Handling & Control Class

Thursdays — January 8, 15, & 29 • 6:15–7:15 PM

This class is for players who already have a solid dribbling foundation and are ready to take the next step. If your player can handle the ball but struggles to stay calm under pressure, protect their dribble, or beat their defender with purpose, this class is built for them.

Across four sessions, we focus on tighter ball control, pace, rhythm, and composure. Players work through structured, game-relevant dribbling scenarios that teach them how to stay organized, strong with the ball, and confident when defenders apply pressure.

What Your Player Will Gain:

• Intermediate-level ball-handling with accountability and feedback
• One-on-one and movement-based dribbling reps with clear purpose
• Stronger decision-making with the ball vs. pressure and traps
• Habits that help players stay organized, confident, and under control

Group size is limited so each player gets direct feedback, quality repetitions, and the kind of structure that leads to real, noticeable improvement.

For Players Still Building the Basics

If your player is still learning how to control the ball with either hand, protect their dribble, or move comfortably while dribbling, this intermediate class may move too fast. In that case, they will make better progress in our Fundamentals First – Dribbling Foundations Class.
