A "dribble" is a technique used in sports, particularly in basketball and soccer, where a player moves the ball by repeatedly tapping or bouncing it with their feet or hands. This allows the player to maintain control while navigating around opponents and advancing toward the goal. Dribbling is essential for creating scoring opportunities and maintaining possession of the ball. In basketball, dribbling involves bouncing the ball on the floor while running or walking. Players use various dribbling styles, such as crossovers or behind-the-back moves, to evade defenders. In soccer, dribbling is performed by using the feet to maneuver the ball, often incorporating skillful moves to outsmart opponents.
