About this resource

What's inside this resource

Six short skill cues for basketball dribbling fill this single poster, ready for gym teachers to post as a quick visual reminder during practice: push the ball down toward the ground, keep the wrist flexible, use consistent force, keep the ball waist high, keep the head up, and stay light on the feet.

Each cue is written as a short first-person statement, so students can silently check their own form against the poster while they dribble rather than needing a verbal correction every time.
