Drills And Moves For Basketball Dribbling

By Saad Mirza


Warming up to play basketball is one of the most important parts of the game. The warmup can determine your play ability as well as prevent injuries. Of the warmup one of the most important components is the stretching session.

The most basic dribble is one where you keep the ball at about the height of your waist while you move across the court. Going in a straight line with the ball. This drill can teach you to control the ball and how it reacts with the area it comes into contact with.

How well you stretch will determine your overall performance on the court. By ensuring you stretch before every game, you're not only protecting yourself but also ensuring that you play a good game. As an added benefit, stretching and warming up benefits your overall health as well. Make sure to stretch on body sides of your body. Two times or more for each stretch is generally a good number to make sure you loosen your muscles and are ready to play. Each stretch should be done the same number of times on each side of your body.

It doesn't matter how new or seasoned you are to the game of basketball. Dribbling is fundamental and something you should always be striving to improve. Know what sets you apart from other players? Understanding how to handle the ball when you're moving around the court. Dribbling in between and around your legs is another move that looks pretty impressive and can be useful while in a game. Using your body to protect the ball is a move that can confuse other players or be hard for them to work around.

Some of the best stretches for basketball are the basic ones you learned in gym class. Toe touches, squats while holding the ball, over head arm reaches, and stretches that have you turning side to side are great ways to ready your body for play. Stretches that focus on your back and core are much less effective for warming up your body.

These two simple workouts are practical ways to improve your ability to handle the basketball. One part of basketball that many people overlook to practice is their dribbling skills. Being a good basketball handler can help you reduce the overall amount of turnovers you commit every game. When you can minimize your turnover average you help give your team a much better fighting chance to be able to win more ball games. Practice the workouts mentioned to help your abilities in basketball for the rest of your life.
