Answer 1

To dribble better and more effectively in games, buy a pack of tennis balls and just dribble with them. It'll help you gain control of the ball. I learned this from a Pistol Pete tape and sure enough Pete Maravich is one of the all time greats at ball handling and control. Also, dribble through cones from side to side (you know how in dog competitions the dogs run through the poles? that's how they get faster and agile).

Answer 2

well you are tall.. so dribbling is always a bit harder then if you were shorter...practice makes perfect.. the more you practcie the better ball control you will have do little drills when you are by yourself, dribbling low is good beacuse a lot of tall girls cant, its not much help but i have the same problem..

  

Answer 3

As far as dribbling goes, all you need is a solid crossover and between the legs because everything else has no purpose. so lay out cones in zig zags about 5 yards apart dribble up to the cone looking straight ahead and crossover at the next cone put the ball between your leg.
