Basketball players only have two options in moving the ball from one teammate to

another, either by passing or by dribbling. Here we will focus on the various types
of dribbling typically observed on the court.

Dribbling

 is bouncing the ball on the floor continuously with one hand at a time. It is the only
legal way that a player may maintain possession of the ball while walking or
running.

High Dribble

 used when you are trying to move the ball up the court very quickly.

 you will see high dribbles after steals and during fast-break opportunities.

 To execute a high dribble, keep you torso erect and push the top of the ball
forward, well ahead of your body. The bounce of the ball should reach anywhere
from between your upper thigh to slightly above your waist
 Low Dribble

 just means that you must keep the ball bouncing low nearest to the floor. This can
effectively ensure the ball from guards.

 This entails the dribblers to extend his hand so as to limit the space the opponent
can penetrate.

Speed Tribble

 This is typically used when the dribbler is an open court and has to take
advantage of time while keeping good control with the ball and his body.

 Because the player isn't guarded heavily, he isn't forced to protect the ball
excessively. This gives him a good chance to make faster dribbling while
achieving some distance.
 Change-Of-Pace Dribble

 This type of dribble is characterized with the slowing down of motion that may
be conceived as stopping.

 This would effectively make the opponent think that you are stopping to pass the
ball.

 once you achieve the reaction from the opponent, you must be keen to explode
with speed then drive through the opponent.

Crossover Dribble

 This type of dribble is used to deflect the guarding player.

 It is characterized by one-hand dribbling while pushing the ball in front. After

which, the offensive player would have to explode right through the opponent.

 While this is good for achieving distance, it is also prone for steals. To protect the
ball, dribbling must be kept low as the ball passes form one hand to another.
