  1. Teaching the dribble: A guide for youth basketball coaches Julio Robles

  2. The Basic Dribble for Novices: • Important for participating and advancing the ball during gameplay • Continuous open skill w/ inter-trial variability (movements have to be adapted to the environment)

  3. Technique • Eyes up • Use fingerpads (not fingertips) • Keep ball at your side • Keep ball at waist level or lower • Keep the ball in your “foot pocket” by dropping the right foot behind your left foot (right handers) • Use opposite arm to shield the ball from defenders

  4. Common Mistakes • Looking at the ball while dribbling • If you say, use your “fingertips” to younger children, they often dribble the ball where the nail starts to protrude from the finger • Slapping the ball instead of firmly pushing it to the ground • Dribbling the ball too high (shoulder level)

  5. Demonstration • Show YouTube video of 3 different N.B.A players dribbling using technique • Have players practice the technique • Coach and experienced player should demo 1x each from multiple angles • Show YouTube video of correct technique and bad technique, so players could compare and contrast • Another round of practice • Demonstrate 1-2 corrections to common mistakes being made

  6. Recommended Feedback • Novices will require knowledge of performance feedback (KP) Example: Descriptive & Prescriptive statements “You dribbled the ball in front of you and it almost got stolen. Try dribbling it towards your side while using your other hand to shield the ball from the defender.”

  7. Recommended Feedback • (KP) should guide the player to dribbling correctly • Feedback should be given early to correct technique, but gradually lessen in order to avoid dependency (Fading schedules of feedback)

  8. Practice Plan • Should be practiced randomly at different speeds and with/without defenders. Stationary Dribbling

  9. Practice Plan Cont. • Dribbling while walking

  10. Practice Plan Cont. Dribbling while running

  11. Practice Over Time/Experience • Practice would still be done randomly but with more variations to the dribble. Between the legs Crossover Behind the back

  12. Learning the Skill • Fluidity in dribbling is apparent when the degrees of freedom aren’t limited. • Learning should be measured through retention. If the player could perform the dribble consistently over a span of weeks then they have learned the skill.
