4 Tips to Mastering Dribbling
Dribbling is often misunderstood. Players have to learn how to dribble, but at the same time they have to know when dribbling should and should not be done. Mastering dribbling involves learning to abide by the rules, but also learning to be versatile.
Dribbling is used a lot on the court and players have to be able to dribble the ball with skill. It is one of the moves on the court that makes you vulnerable because it is easier for opposing players to get the ball during a dribble then during other moves.
The following four tips will help you to be better at dribbling and better at using dribbling in your game so you are more efficient and effective on the court.
Tip #1: Keep Your Head Up
Too often players focus too much on the ball when dribbling. This is a huge mistake. You have to learn how to dribble without looking at the ball. It is important to practice over and over to gain the confidence in yourself that is needed to dribble without looking at the ball.
When you are too focused on the ball you will not be able to see what is going on around you and you will not be an efficient player.
Tip #2: Both Hands
Every good player knows how to dribble the ball with both hands. While you can not dribble back and forth between hands during a game you still may find times when you need to be able to dribble with either hand. Being flexible is important. You should practice a lot with your less dominant hand so you gain the coordination you need to be able to dribble efficiently with both hands and after a long practice you able to dribble more efficiently.
Tip # 3: Use Your Fingers
One of the first things players will be taught about dribbling is that it should be done with the fingers, not the palms. You want to practice dribbling with your fingers and never your palms. This will enable you to grab up the ball quickly and gives you better control over the ball.
Tip # 4: Know when to skip the dribble
As mentioned dribbling is not always the best way to go. More often passing is the preferred method of moving the ball down the court. You should learn when dribbling should be used and when it should not be used. You may need to watch some games and see what other players do or you may just naturally come about knowing when dribbling is good and when it is not.
Dribbling is a must have skill in basketball. Every player needs to be well skilled in dribbling to be a good player. It is important that each player practices drills involving dribbling. There are too many violations that can be called for improper dribbling and ball handling to not teach players the right way to dribble. Besides that, dribbling is sometimes the only way to get the ball to the basket.
