Dribbling is solely the act of continuous bouncing of the ball with the help of your hand<\/strong>, which is fundamental to basketball. However, if you wish to master the game, it is necessary to understand the tricks and tactics that come with it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before we dive into various dribbling drills, let\u2019s first get our position right. Bend your knees while keeping your chest up; this will allow you to look forward and keep an eye on the floor. Try looking forward while dribbling to have a clear vision of the court. Always use your fingertips to dribble instead of your palm; spread your fingers around the ball to achieve better control over it. <\/span><\/p>\n
