The way to properly dribble is to keep your head up while looking ahead of you. If you have to ever look at the ball while dribbling, then you haven't practiced that enough. Bring your ball along when you go out. Walking to your mailbox? Dribble the ball. If you look at the ball, you're unable to see what's going on down the court before you.

Crossing over is a vital skill to have for handling the basketball. Crossovers involve moving the ball from hand to hand. This must be done quickly to be successful. After doing so correctly, a crossover gives you greater control over the court's flow.

Do you want to fool the other team? Give the back pass a try! Hold the ball in your strong hand to start the pass. Then, put the ball around your back. Lastly, flick the wrist in the direction you want the ball to go. This will trick your opponents.

Use hand signals to avoid errant passes. It can be frustrating making a pass when a player moves away towards the basket. Players should use hand signals often when available for a pass. If the signal is not used, then the pass should not be made to that player.

Should you receive an injury during the course of the game, never try to continue playing despite the pain. Basketball is physically demanding, and injuries are relatively common. By "playing through the pain" you take a huge risk that the injury will become much worse. If it is a serious injury, see a doctor.

To become a great free thrower, practice and develop a routine you will use during each shot. It could be that you dribble several times, bend at the knees, brush your hair out of your eyes or do something else. If you make your routine consistent, your body will eventually know how to make the shot every time.

If the opposing team is guarding you to much, you can try a pass between your legs. This will make it very hard for your defender to get it. This move can give you an advantage when playing a tough defense.

You need to constantly disrupt your opponents in order to be a great defensive player. Take them out of their own comfort zone. Use aggression with your moves. Do not allow them to decide which plays to make. The more aggressively smart team is usually the one who wins. Rather, move first; attack their rhythm.

Strengthen your hands and forearms for better ball handling. Consider wrist curls and and exercise machine that focuses on strengthening each finger individually. Don't just think you can place yourself in one spot, wait for the ball then hoist up a shot. The best way to get into the flow of the game is to be in motion.
