What is dribbing?

Dribbling is a fundamental skill in many sports, including soccer, basketball, and field hockey. It involves moving the ball or puck in a controlled manner with the feet, hands, or stick while maintaining possession and avoiding defenders.

Dribbling involves a combination of skills such as ball handling, spatial awareness, quick decision making, and mastering different techniques to change directions quickly and accelerate with the ball.

In soccer, dribbling is a key tactic used in attacking moves and involves using footwork to maneuver past defenders and create scoring opportunities. In basketball, dribbling is used to move the ball up the court and create space for shooting or passing, while in field hockey, dribbling is used to advance the ball towards the opponent's goal.

To improve dribbling, athletes can practice various drills to enhance their footwork, improve their ability to change direction quickly, and increase their speed and control while dribbling. Dribbling also requires good physical fitness, including agility, coordination, and balance.
