Activity Description
Dribbling means bouncing a ball continuously with the palm and fingers of the hand.
Show your child how to do a two-handed dribble (both hands contact the ball at the same time).
Show your child how to do right- and left-handed dribble. One hand will be more difficult depending on whether your child is left-handed or right-handed.
Practice all three dribbles.
Play a mirror game: when you dribble with your left hand, so must your child. Vary the dribbles, speed, height, and other factors to make the game fun.
