Good dribbling skills enable a player to keep control of the ball, travel past a defender or to simply move the team forward up the court.

Stage one

• Stand with feet shoulder width apart in ready position.
• Stand on the balls of your feet.
• Keep the knees slightly flexed and the back extended.

Stage two

• Push the ball downwards using fingertips.
• Extend the shoulder and elbow.
• Flex the wrist.
• Keep the head up and the ball slightly out in front (max 1 m).
• Keep the ball at waist level with your hand on top of the ball.
• Absorb the impact with fingertips and let the wrist flex and move the ball.
