STEP THREE
Dribbling & Dribbling in moves
Coaching points:
* Use your fingertips to dribble, never the palm.
* Dribble such that the ball is always under control. Dribble on the side of your body, Front and back is always used for crossover
* Be on your toes while dribbling the ball.
Game Play:
* Divide the students into four teams.
* Each team to have one ball.
* First child starts dribbling in a zig-zag and the task turns from the cone – Not around the cone but closest to the cone.
* Uses right hand while taking turn from right side and uses left hand while taking turn from left side.
* Takes turns from the last cone and dribbles back straight, passes it to the partner and joins at the back of the file.
* The rhythm of dribbling with alternate hands should be smooth rather than focusing on the speed.
* Continue the relay drill of dribbling by making chest passes to the partners and increase the pace depending on the competency level.
Next Step:
* Play a game of basketball using full/half courts.
* Focus on correct technique of dribbling.
* Every player should dribble at least 4 steps before passing the ball.
