Something for Everyone...

Dribbling Do's and Dont's

Do:
*Keep the dribble 'alive' until you have a shot or an open teammate to pass to.
*Vary the speed and direction of the dribble so defenders are kept off guard.
*Protect the dribble from the defensive player with the non-dribbling arm when closely guarded
*Cross-over or switch dribbling hands to protect the ball after dribbling past the defender.
*Stay in the middle of the court and away from the sidelines and corners to avoid being trapped.

Don't:
*Automatically start dribbling after receiving the pass. Look to see what shoot or passing options are available after squaring up to the basket.
*Pick up or stop dribbling with no other option (shooting or passing) available.
*Dribble into a crowd - the ball is more likely to be stolen.
*Try to get fancy when good fundamental dribbling will do the job.
*Hesitate....be assertive and confident when dribbling the ball.
