What is a "dribble"?
A dribble is the act of a player controlling and moving the ball with small, quick touches while running in sports like basketball or soccer. It allows the player to keep possession of the ball while advancing toward the goal or setting up a play. In basketball, dribbling is done by bouncing the ball on the floor with one hand, while in soccer, it involves using the feet to guide the ball. Dribbling is a key skill for maintaining control and navigating around opponents.
