What you’ll learn
I can dribble with both hands and use the correct footwork when stopping.
Key learning points
- Move: dribbling the ball with both hands requires balance, coordination and timing.
- Think: knowing when to stop depends on the speed of travel and the position of the defenders.
- Feel: to dribble the ball and advance into space requires determination and effort.
- Connect: receiving and moving with the ball requires an awareness of where your team are on court.
Words to know
- jump stop
- jumping off the ground and landing on both feet simultaneously
- travelling
- a rule enforced when a player takes more than 2 steps without dribbling the ball
- dribble
- bouncing the ball on the ground with one hand
Common mistakes
Pupils think they can move with the ball more than 2 steps before starting to dribble.
This can be seen at the elite level but will break the travelling rule.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Encourage creativity and different ways to move the ball in these dribbling practices. Encourage movement of the ball around their body without breaking the travelling or double dribble rules.
