In order to move the ball up and down the court and keep it away from defenders you have to have good dribbling skills. Dribbling is a very important part of the game but also a difficult part. Not everyone can dribble well but some of these tips may help you out a little bit. When you stop dribbling, stop only when you have located an open man for the pass. Your feet should be in a two step stop planting in a wide base. The back of your knees should bend to lower the body so you don’t have to dribble up high and risk the ball getting stolen. When stopping but continuing to dribble, your feet should be shoulder width apart. Your toes should be facing the basket. Your hands have to be prepared to change the dribble from a speed dribble to a controlled dribble. Eyes have to read

the defender and the defense so you can make quick moves to fake before either shooting, passing or driving. When dribbling under extreme pressure, your feet should take a quick step backward, then use either a change of direction. The head always has to be up and not looking at the ball. Your eyes should always be looking for a pass to an open teammate. Dribbling is very difficult, the good dribblers always exhibit consistent dribbling skills, dribble to separate themselves from the defense, know when to stop dribbling, and they also know which dribble to use in each situation. As you can see to be a good ball player there is a technique needed. I hope you all have learned something from my speech. Now from this speech don’t think that if your a good shooter, passer and

dribbler you can be an all- star player because there are other things that are needed to be learned such as defense because it is just as important as offense. Once you learn about the entire game offense and defense you can have a lot of fun and make a lot money at the same time all while playing the game of basketball.
