How to Low Dribble a Basketball

Video Transcript

"This is Travis on behalf of Expert Village and we're talking about dribbling. The next one that we want to talk about is low dribbling. Low dribbling. When you dribble you can talk with a low voice. That could be low dribbling like this, but what we're talking about is dribbling low to the ground. You're going to have quicker dribbles obviously because you're close to the ground. You're going to use this dribble, the low dribble, depending on which side your defender is on. If your defender is facing more this way trying to force you right, you're going to be using your right hand and using your left arm and hand. Without touching them because you can't push off. That's illegal. Just kind of as a guard to keep your space. You're going to do the low dribble on the side when they're defending you and pushing you the other direction. The low dribble is good for when you're being closely defended by your opponent. Remember, the low dribble for when you're being closely defended, whether you're coming down the court or whether you're working in your half court offense."
