Question
Hello,
I was wondering if you could give me a good ball handling program. I am trying out for shooting guard on a college team and I know that one of my weaknesses is my dribbling. Also I have a good shot but I can always work more on it because I think that is what will really set me a part from other girls, so I am wondering what shooting drills I can do.  I need to be able to do any of these drills alone, I live in a small town therefore I don't have a coach here to help me out at all.  Thanks for your advice!

Answer
Check this sites.

The first is mainly to improve your handles and the second for dribbling drills.
