Technology of dribbling

Dribbling in basketball consists in movement of the player with a ball on the platform and simultaneous commission of alternate rebounds of a ball from a floor by means of one hand. In other words, you knock a ball on a floor, and it jumps aside and comes back. Technology of dribbling in basketball not difficult, but it is good to conduct a ball dependently not to each player. The matter is that the opponent in any second can take away him from you or just beat out. Maintaining a basketball is mainly used to transfer it to others half or to outplay the opponent with the subsequent throw of a ball. Remove a ball by means of dribbling to minimize risk of loss by long transfer and to give time to team mate to take positions in the opponent’s half of the field. All of them know that big players mainly badly drive a ball and it is easy to take away it from them. And not only because of the growth (at tall persons the ball jumps aside above and it is easier for little players to beat out it). The matter is that big fulfill maintaining a little, having concentrated only at work under a ring, selections, fight for a position. On the one hand, so in basketball are cast in team.

We recommend to give before each training up to 15 minutes to working off of maintaining using special glasses for maintaining working off which close the review below so the dribbler does not see a ball and learns to feel it.

Exercises for working out skills of dribbling

1. Usual maintaining. Before a training when the organism is not warmed yet, it is possible to work over dribbling with run and to kill two hares at the same time.
2. Maintaining by two balls. This very useful exercise, but for obtaining the maximum effect it is necessary to alternate a way of maintaining: with a simultaneous rebound of two balls, with variable. It is possible to throw the second ball with other rhythm.
3. Dribbling by the back and side. Try to move a ball and to make at the same time shuttle run on the platform, or horizontal movements.
4. Constant dribbling. Even outside the basketball hall or the platform conduct a ball. Mother asked to meet from a stop – walk with a ball there. You meet on couple games in streetball friends in 3 blocks from the house – walk on foot and knock with a ball. Dribbling on uneven surfaces especially effectively develops your coordination.

Perhaps, on streetball party or a show of freestylers, but not in an official match. Work these exercises on the discretion. Our team recommends the following video with the forward of Indiana Pacers Paul George who shares dribbling secrets.

It is necessary to sit down as it is possible more deeply to conduct a ball at minimum possible height. When dribbling, it is possible to make the crossover (crossover), that is to transfer a ball from one hand on another. The body at the same time keeps direct situation, and eyes look forward. The following element of dribbling which is actively applied in games – the translation of a ball between legs. It is very important to do this translation so that the body settled down directly with the leg exposed forward and a good lay down. The translation behind the back is also often used by basketball players. In essence it is similar to the crossover, only the rebound of a ball is made behind the back. Paul George often uses a turn during dribbling with change of a hand. It is extremely important to learn to carry out these exercises so that not to look at a ball, and to see all platform ahead of itself.
