a. Dribbling

The skill of moving the ball in the desired direction deceiving
the opposite players by controlling it using both feet during the

game is called dribbling. The players can use different parts of
their legs while dribbling the ball. But, the use of upper and inner
part of the feet can be beneficial. This skill can be applied when
the players need to pass and receive the ball to and from the

friends, controlling the ball in risky situations as well as taking
an opportunity to score the goal. This skill helps the players to
deceive the opposite players, dribble the ball back and forth,
and moving the ball in a jig jack way. Both short and long dribble Dribbling

can be applied depending on the situation during the game.

Activity – 1

The students should stand in a line face to face being divided into two groups. The

distance between these two groups should be about 25- 30 m. Then, the first player
of one line moves forward dribbling the ball. He / she passes the ball to the first
student of the next group when he/ she reaches near them and stands going at
the back of the opposite group. The one who gets the ball dribbles the ball forward

again. When he/ she reaches closer to the opposite group, passes the ball to the
front player and stands at the back of that group as the former player does. This
practice should be done repeatedly. If there are many balls, this practice can be
done dividing them into many groups.
