Core Basketball Skills
Dribbling
Good ball handling allows you to control the pace of the game, beat defenders, and create scoring opportunities. Practice with both hands and at different speeds.
Shooting
Shooting form is crucial. Focus on balance, follow‑through, and repetition. Start close to the basket and gradually move farther out as your accuracy improves.
Passing
Accurate passing keeps the offense moving and helps create open shots. Learn chest passes, bounce passes, and overhead passes.
Defense
Great defenders stay low, move their feet, and anticipate the offense. Defense is about effort, communication, and positioning.
