Product description

From the author

This Basketball Dribble Skill Cues Poster lists six first-person reminders about pushing the ball down, keeping a flexible wrist, using consistent force, controlling ball height, keeping the head up and staying light on the feet.

The one-page PDF includes basketball artwork and two children dribbling. Print and optionally laminate it for display near a practice area. It is a reference poster rather than a sequence of illustrated technique steps.
