Learning to become a good ball-handler, and developing a feel for the ball for vitally important in becoming an excellent all-around player. Hold The Ball Correctly The most difficult skills, including shooting, passing, catching, dribbling, and rebounding, involve holding the ball. Work on these skills every day. Here is how to practice holding the ball: Hold the ball with your fingertips. The palms of your hands should not touch the ball. Make sure your fingers are far apart. Hold the ball as much as possible at home while watching TV or listening to the radio or music. It is said that the great Pete Maravich slept with his basketball and held it during his sleep! While watching TV, you can hold the ball (with both hands) and spin it around in your hands.
