Fundamentals

Learn the key components to dribbling and effective drills to practice. The keys are; eyes up, ball to waist height, using fingertips and an athletic stance with knees bent and back straight. The most effective drills to practice these are the pound dribble and ankle dribble. Once twenty pound and ankle dribbles are completed in both hands you will learn the crossover dribble. The keys for the crossover dribble are placing the hands on the side of the ball and keeping it below the knees.
