Common misconception
Pupils often mistake dribbling fast and dribbling with control, which causes them to lose control of the ball. Often pupils won't catch the ball but just move straight into a dribble.
Explain to pupils that dribbling fast is good but dribbling with control is essential. The better control they have, the faster they will be able to dribble. Remind them that they should receive the ball and assess the best option before dribbling.
