During this part of the lesson, you will have the opportunity to practice various dribbling drills to improve your ball handling skills. Dribbling is a fundamental skill in basketball that allows you to maintain control of the ball while moving around the court.

Some of the dribbling techniques you will focus on include:

  • Crossover dribble: This involves bouncing the ball from one hand to the other in front of your body, allowing you to change direction quickly.
  • Between-the-legs dribble: In this drill, you will pass the ball between your legs while dribbling, which can help you evade defenders and create space.
  • Behind-the-back dribble: This technique involves bouncing the ball behind your back with one hand while keeping it in motion.

By practicing these dribbling drills, you will develop better ball control, hand-eye coordination, and the ability to maneuver past defenders. Remember to focus on maintaining a low dribble and keeping your eyes up to survey the court.
