How to Teach Beginner Girls Basketball Dribbling I

Having dribbling skills gives a player an awesome advantage in girls basketball. During my experience in basketball, it is one of basketball most lacking skill. However it is one of the most important. When you have a great basketball dribbler on your team, you have someone that can bring the ball up the court basketball get the ball to other basketball That is very important. Let's look at ways to teach girls how to dribble.

Develop Ball Handling Skills

One of the first ways to teach girls how to dribble is to develop the ball handling skills. This can be done with the finger tip drill. During the finger tip drill, have the player move the basketball ball back and forth using only the finger tips. Start with the arms extended directly in front of the body. Then over time bring the extended arms up above the head. Then bring the extended arms back down in front of the body, while still tipping the ball back and forth with the finger tips.

Another drill would be to practice wrapping the basketball around the waist. Practice wrapping the basketball around the ankles. Then practice wrapping the basketball around the head. Then practice wrapping the basketball around the right leg and left leg. Now practice wrapping the basketball around both legs in a figure 8 motion.

Practicing these ball handling drills allow the player to get comfortable handling a basketball which also helps with dribbling. But not only that, it helps with passing, rebounding and shooting the basketball.
