Stretching Before Playing Basketball And Basketball Moves

By Saad Mirza


Warming up to play basketball is one of the most important parts of the game. The warmup can determine your play ability as well as prevent injuries. Of the warmup one of the most important components is the stretching session.

A ball handling workout that is proven effective is to dribble the ball up and down the court with one hand only. As you sprint up and down the court do your best to control the ball with only one hand. After a few times up and down the court with one hand focus your attention on the other.

This practice helps condition you for handling the ball on only one hand. After at least a few dozen times down the court with each hand practice on dribbling the ball in between your legs as you sprint down the court. This move should feel standard for you. By implementing this move to your repertoire it will be easier for you to defend the ball.

It doesn't matter how new or seasoned you are to the game of basketball. Dribbling is fundamental and something you should always be striving to improve. Know what sets you apart from other players? Understanding how to handle the ball when you're moving around the court. Dribbling in between and around your legs is another move that looks pretty impressive and can be useful while in a game. Using your body to protect the ball is a move that can confuse other players or be hard for them to work around.

Some of the best stretches for basketball are the basic ones you learned in gym class. Toe touches, squats while holding the ball, over head arm reaches, and stretches that have you turning side to side are great ways to ready your body for play. Stretches that focus on your back and core are much less effective for warming up your body.

These two simple workouts are practical ways to improve your ability to handle the basketball. One part of basketball that many people overlook to practice is their dribbling skills. Being a good basketball handler can help you reduce the overall amount of turnovers you commit every game. When you can minimize your turnover average you help give your team a much better fighting chance to be able to win more ball games. Practice the workouts mentioned to help your abilities in basketball for the rest of your life.
