Behind the Back with No Bounce Move
? Using your right hand, engage the ball close to your arm. Make sure you keep it in your palm while dribbling.
? Try to gain full control of the ball. Then swing your arm in a clockwise manner around your body. You can carry the ball in your hand in this step but if you keep doing this, it will be considered a violation.
? When the ball gets near your left hip, push the ball forward and bounce it naturally in front of you. The ball would be out of your fingertips as you keep running forward.
This is one basketball trick that entails lots of practice. Your son needs to dedicate daily hour on his own to master this.
The Knee Dribble
? Dribble either with your right or left hand.
? Propel the ball under your bent knee. Following a few counts, use your opposite hand to catch the ball.
This basketball trick is not that common. Your son also needs to really practice to master it. He can try this once he gains comprehensive control of the ball.
