If you hold the ball a lot, you have to learn crossovers. Switch from one side to the other while dribbling. It has to be done fast to be effective. Learn how to perform a crossover dribble will help you get down court quickly.
Need to dupe the opposition? Try the back pass. Hold the ball using your dominant hand. The next step is pull the basketball behind the back. Then, quickly snap your wrist toward the location where you want the ball to end up. This should trick the opposing team.
Play by yourself to practice. Basketball is a multiple player sport, but other people won't always be around. For concentration purposes, it can be good to practice on your own. Playing on your own can give you the chance to work on isolated areas of your game. You can work on pivots and free throws. You can always find things to practice.
Bad passes can be avoided with the right hand signals. It can be frustrating making a pass when a player moves away towards the basket. Using signals helps communicate passes with your team. If the player does not flash the signal, then the player can avoid an errant pass.
Never have your back to the ball so that you're ready for anything in a basketball game. It's all about court awareness, and always facing the ball will make it so you are less surprised by passes. That means less turnovers. When your eyes are constantly assessing the game, you will be better able to make easy shots.
When trying to improve your strength to have better basketball footwork, work on building up your core. Your balance will improve if you strengthen your core. Strengthen you back muscles along with abs, hips and buttocks. Similar to boxers, jump rope to help increase speed and better your footwork.
Always be aware of where you have your feet and what you are going to do with them next. Stepping even over a baseline when you're in possession of the ball will have you called out of bounds. Taking excessive steps while not dribbling results in a call of walking as well as a turnover. Being aware of your body movements can give you an advantage on the court.
Making a pass from between your legs is sometimes a good option when the opposing team is right on top of you. Try practicing this by bouncing your ball hard in between your legs while stepping forward or backward. Mastering this skill will provide you with a major advantage on the court.
Practicing your skills will ensure that you are confident whenever you play. You may know some things that some of your friends aren't aware of. Have fun and keep practicing. In either case, it's always fun to be a winner!
