How To Steal The Ball From Your Opponent In Basketball
| Sport : Basketball If your opponent is dribbling the ball, position yourself about an arm's length away in the defensive position with your feet shoulder width apart. As your opponent starts to move and bounce the ball, slide your feet and reach for the ball from the side as it bounces up from the ground - it has less momentum this way than when it is being bounced from the hand to the ground. If you are unable to get the ball, then return to your initial defensive position. If the ball has been passed to the player you are defending then you need to get into the defensive position where you can see both player and ball. Try and look like you are not paying attention to the player with the ball and are in a bad position, so that when the ball is passed to your player you can reach up with the arm that will give you as much blockage between the ball coming towards your player. This way you can hit the ball down and get it yourself or knock it over to someone else in your team, so long as you divert it from the opposition.

Try not to reach very much though. Your opponent may get easily past you if you do.
