Dribbling

Dribbling is the skill of advancing with a ball while keeping it under close control and evading opponents. Its techniques vary across sports, especially soccer and basketball.

Ball control: The ability to direct a ball reliably through contact, movement, and timing. Dribbling depends on touches that keep the ball within reach while the player moves.
Soccer: A team sport in which players mainly use their feet to move a ball and score goals. Soccer dribbling uses repeated foot touches to advance while opponents attempt to dispossess the player.
Passing (association football): The transfer of a soccer ball from one player to a teammate. Passing advances possession through teammates rather than carrying the ball past defenders.
Lionel Messi: An Argentine footballer known for his close control, acceleration, and goal-scoring. His low center of gravity and compact touches are widely associated with elite soccer dribbling.
Change of pace: A sudden shift in movement speed used to disrupt an opponent’s timing. Accelerating after slowing can turn close control into separation from a defender.
Basketball: A team sport in which players score by throwing a ball through an elevated hoop. Basketball dribbling requires bouncing the ball continuously while moving under defensive pressure.
Ball carrying: Advancing while maintaining possession of a ball, especially in rugby and American football. It is a related possession skill, but often involves carrying the ball in the hands.
Diego Maradona: An Argentine footballer whose career included leading Argentina to victory at the 1986 World Cup. His solo goal against England in 1986 is a celebrated example of dribbling through multiple defenders.
Feint: A deceptive movement that suggests one action before the performer takes another. A feint draws a defender toward the wrong direction, opening a route past them.
Futsal: A five-a-side form of association football played mainly indoors with a smaller, low-bounce ball. Its tight space and low-bounce ball reward close control and quick changes of direction.
