Basic basketball skills children can learn and practise

1. Children can learn and practise balance skill

Children can learn to spread their feet apart, bend the legs on their knees and arms on their sides with the head facing in front and parallel to the ground. Balance prevents young children from falling down easily.

Children can learn dribbling skills by pushing the ball to the floor repeatedly using their dominant hands and legs and catching it quickly as it rebounds off.

Once they learn how to dribble looking at the ball, they can also learn and practise dribbling skills without looking at the ball.

3. Children can learn and practise shooting skills

Kids can learn to throw the ball into the basket when taught and observed practise it.

4. Children can practise passing skills

Create drills that will allow the children to throw the ball into the air. Pair the players so that someone can catch the ball, throw it back to the other player, and vice versa repeatedly.

5. Kids can practise basic footwork

Teach your young players about movement and positioning of the foot. Footwork helps them to learn how to coordinate their dribbling with feet.
