Dribble start

When starting the dribble, it is important that the ball first touches the ground before the back foot is lifted.

Dribble start from standing still

• Spreading position: feet parallel, holding ball with two hands
• Place left foot in the dribble direction, ball and foot touch the ground at the same time
• If the ball has touched the ground, the right foot can be moved.

Dribble from moving

• If the ball is caught, quickly hit the ball with a bounce to the ground
• The bounce must have taken place before the back foot is moved.

Teaching starting to dribble

• Make a step forward from parallel position with opposite foot and simultaneously push the ball to the ground. Then the ball is caught and the movement repeated in different directions with both the one and the other hand. So: step and stop followed by catching and repeating.
• As above but then several dribbles over short distances
• As previous but then increase the speed of the dribble.
