3 Girls Basketball Dribbling Drills For All Positions

Being able to dribble the basketball is a great skill to have, even if you are tall and considered a post player. In the past, tall players were automatically placed in the post position. Now, you have girls over 6 feet handling the ball and playing point guard. Every player should consider adding dribbling skills to their game.
