Il y a «dribble» lorsqu'un joueur qui contrôle le ballon donne une impulsion en le lançant, en le frappant ou en le roulant sur le sol et le retouche avant qu'il ne soit touché par un autre joueur. Lorsque le ballon n’ est pas en contact avec sa main, le joueur peut faire autant de pas qu'il veut lors du dribble. Le dribble se termine lorsque le joueur touche le ballon des deux mains ou le tient. Un joueur ne peut exécuter de dribble que lorsqu'il a le contrôle du ballon. Il est néanmoins interdit de faire un second dribble d’affilée; après avoir complété un dribble, le joueur doit perdre et reprendre le contrôle du ballon avant de faire un nouveau dribble. Il perd le contrôle quand il y a une passe ou une perte involontaires du ballon alors que celui-ci est touché par un autre joueur. 3, record 3, French, - dribble

Le dribble suppose qu'une seule main à la fois touche le ballon pour le faire rebondir. Le «dribble à deux mains» est fautif, car les deux mains sont en contact simultanément sur le ballon. Par contre, le «dribble des deux mains»(«dribble with alternating hands»), qui est le fait de dribbler en alternant entre la main gauche et la main droite, est conforme aux règles, puisqu'une seule main à la fois est en contact avec le ballon dans ce dribble. 3, record 4, French, - dribble%20%C3%A0%20deux%20mains
