Question

Explain the following:

Dribbling

Answer 1

Dribbling is the skill of running with the ball at your feet. The player is speeding forward through open space, manoeuvring out of tight situations and feinting to beat opponents. It is, perhaps, the most expressive and exciting part of the game.

While dribbling, some points to be kept in mind are:

1. To play around the opponent.
2. To escape from the opponent.
3. Keep the ball in possession.
4. Keep the ball near your feet while dribbling as you will probably lose it to your opponent.
5. Don't walk and dribble as you will not come any far. Instead use your speed to accelerate quickly from your opponent.
6. Don't look down at the ball while dribbling. Instead, keep your head up in order to see in which direction you are going.
7. Don't hesitate while dribbling because if you do, it would be impossible to get around your opponents.
