Its all about rhythm. If someone doesn't have rhythm and hand-eye-coordination, dribbling looks like its not done right. Also, don't run faster than you can dribble because then you lose the ball

If you are small and short, try getting a little bigger and stronger (push ups etc.) because there's going to bigger people and if you are small and weak you won't be able to compete. As for ball handling. Try dribbling drills such as dribbling the ball with two hand down the court and back. Once do it bouncing at the same time, next do it bouncing alternatively on each hand. Also try playing basketball as much as you can, and when you play run point guard and practice your dribbling. Also when you practice LOOK UP when you dribble, so you don't get the bad habit of looking down while dribbling which makes your life much harder while playing basketball.
