The word "dribbling" comes from English dribbling, which means "dribbling". In some sports, this term means a sporty dribbling technique that allows you to bypass an opponent without breaking the rules of the game.
In football, dribbling is dribbling the ball next to your foot in motion. In basketball, dribbling the ball with regular strikes on the floor and changing hands. In handball - the same as in basketball, but it is forbidden to change the hand.
Football dribbling
Dribbling the ball in motion in close proximity to the foot allows the player to unexpectedly change the direction of the ball's movement at an angle of up to 90 degrees, which makes it possible to perform unexpected maneuvers for the opponent, successfully outflanking the defender. This change in direction of the ball can be accomplished with both the inner and outer edge of the foot and even the sole. Dribbling allows the player in possession of the ball to accelerate sharply from a place or, conversely, to stop abruptly after running, in full control of the ball, as well as perform various feints (deceptive movements).
All football stars - Pele, Maradona, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Messi - perfectly mastered football dribbling, skillfully throwing the ball from foot to foot, making feints and outflanking the opposing team's players. To master dribbling, a beginner footballer is recommended to first master the ball dribbling technique perfectly with both the left and right foot.
Basketball dribbling
Dribbling in basketball, like passing it, are the main technical elements of the game. The dribbling itself can be either high-speed, low, or combined.
Dribbling is a low speed dribbling of the ball with the body, shoulder or free hand covering it from opponents. Often when dribbling is used not only dribbling the ball in front of you, but also dribbling behind the back, between the legs, the use of unexpected turns when touching the opponent.
Usually, when dribbling, the ball is touched only with your fingertips, as close to the ground as possible, with unexpected changes in dribble tempo. Because of this, it is difficult for the opponent to intercept the ball, and opportunities for a pass, throw or pass open up for the dribbler.
Some of the most famous basketball dribbling masters are Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, Tony Parker.
Dribbling in water polo
In water polo, dribbling is a technique in which the player crawls and the ball is dribbled by the forehead or nose. Or the ball is dribbled by the nasal wave and corrected with the head.
Unlike the usual crawl, in water polo, the head is raised high above the head so that the player can see everything that is happening in front of him. In this case, the stroke range becomes somewhat shorter, and their frequency is higher. More frequent strokes keep the ball in control. The swimming speed should not differ from the swimming speed without the ball.
