Basketball drills
- The feet are in a small scissor or parallel position.
- Knees slightly bent; torso slightly forward.
- bodyweight above both feet.
- the ball is held at chest level with the fingertips; thumbs behind the ball.
- the elbows point backwards and are not too close to the body. eyes directed at the goal.
- By extending the arms and the back leg, the ball is pushed away and guided for as long as possible; the ball leaves the hands via the fingertips.
- At the end of the action, the palms point outwards and the thumbs downwards;
- this is caused by the forceful folding of the wrists.
- The body weight is transferred to the front foot through the entire action.
- The pass is often supported by a step with the front leg in the direction of the goal.
- The chest pass can also be performed in a sideways direction; pivoting in the direction of the goal is necessary for this.
- Halfway through the normal dribbling height, the ball is brought to the other dribbling hand with a wrist strike via a flat bounce.
- At the moment the movement is started, the right leg steps forward,
- so that the ball can reach the left hand unimpeded.
- The ball passes in front of the left foot.
- The ball is taken low with the other hand.
- After the takeover the body turns over the left foot between the ball and the defender,
- where the free (bent) arm again has a protective function.
- In the speed dribble, the upper body makes an angle of less than 90 degrees with the ground.
- This is highly dependent on the speed at which the dribble is performed. The higher the speed, the smaller the angle.
- The dribbling arm is directed more forward due to the speed.
- The dribble is between hip and chest height; the ball is pushed powerfully to the ground and lands next to the shoulder axis in front of the feet.
- If there are no defenders around, the free arm has a balancing function
- If this is not the case, the dribbler will initially try to increase his speed in order to shake off the defender
- If this does not work, he can use his free arm to prevent the opponent from taking the ball.
- Obviously, this will be at the expense of speed.
- The walking speed must be in accordance with the dribbler's level; walking and dribbling must not hinder each other.
- The knees and ankles are bent strongly during the low dribble, allowing the ball to stay extra low to the ground.
- The torso and head, on the other hand, remain practically straight.
- The gaze is directed towards the opponent(s) and the rest of the field of play
- The free (slightly bent) arm is turned towards the opponent and has a protective function.

- next: turn your hips and trunk to the left;
- the left hand will lose contact with the ball and is held horizontally to protect the action;
- the elbow is bent.
- The right arm swings in a straight line past the head in the direction of the goal; the movement ends with the wrist being folded over.
- The right arm swings in a straight line along the head towards the target; the movement ends with the flick of the wrist; the ball is pointed after by the throwing arm,
- while the wrist hangs down in a relaxed position.
- During the action, the body weight is transferred to the front foot.

- Horizontal circles; the ball is passed sideways to the partner, who gives the ball back on the other side.
- Vertical circles; passing the ball above the head, accepting it between the legs.
- Eight circles; the ball is passed between the players; turn against each other; after receiving, pass the ball in front of the body to the other side.
