Basic Dribbling Skills
The Hesitation Dribble
 The hesitation dribble is most
commonly used when you are
quickly advancing the basketball up
the floor in transition and your
defender is stationary or
backpedaling.
The Crossover Dribble
 The Crossover dribble it is most commonly
used when you are advancing the basketball
up the court and the defender cuts off your
angle. The crossover dribble can be a
vulnerable because changing hands in front of
the body directly exposes the basketball to the
defense. It's important to use the crossover
only when there is at least an arm's length of
space between you and the nearest defender.
The Between-the-Legs Dribble
The Between-the-legs dribble,is another
move that is commonly used in
advancing the basketball up the court
when the defender cuts off your angle.
Unlike the crossover, the between-the-
legs dribble can be used even when the
defender is close, because your body
serves as a shield as the basketball
changes hands between your legs.
The Behind-the-Back Dribble
The Behind-the-back dribble It is commonly
used in advancing the basketball up the court
when the defender cuts off your angle. The
behind-the-back dribble can be used when
the defender is close, because your body
serves as a barrier as the basketball changes
hands behind your back.
