Personally, I had the same problem. What worked for me was first getting real comfortbale dribbling, beause if you're going for a left handed lay-up you have to dribble, in most cases, with your left hand. Then practice just that. Doing running lay-ups like you would during a game. Start out with warm-up lay-ups until you get comfortable then go faster. It took me about a month to get consistant with it, so i'd say about a month. you'll do fine. Goodluck!

Basketball can be played by as few as two players. However, organized basketball games include two teams comprised of five players per team. Each team can have more than five players, but only five players per team are allowed on the court at one time.\n\nThe team's head coach determines when players go in and come out of the game. Reserve players enter the game through a process called substitution. Substitutions can only occur when play stops, such as during a timeout or when the referee calls a violation.\n\nEach player on a team is categorized by position. There are five positions on a traditional basketball team: \n    * Point guard - This player is typically the best dribbler and passer on the team. The point guard is sometimes called the floor general, which indicates the key role that the point guard plays.\n\n    * Shooting guard - The shooting guard, also called the two guard, is typically a team's best outside shooter on the team. This player flanks the point guard and moves around the court to try to create some space to take a shot that is uncontested by the opposition.\n\n    * Power forward - The power forward is usually near the basket and moves from one side of the basket to the other to try to get free from the opposition player that is guarding him. Power forwards also are skilled rebounders.\n\n    * Small forward - The small forward is typically a better outside shooter than a power forward and is usually smaller than a power forward.\n\n    * Center - Traditionally, the center is the tallest player on the team. The center's role is to establish a position near the basket to allow him/herself an easy jump shot. On defense, the center attempts to block shots and grab rebounds.

Traveling is not called in the NBA, except against centers...\n\nLebron traveled on his game winning shot the other day, stepped with his left foot, then his right foot...no call...\n\nAccording to the original rules, you're basically allowed 1 and 1/2 steps...in other words, you can stop your dribble during one stride, then take a full stride as you rise up to slam in someone's face... 1 and 1/2 steps, OK... two steps, traveling...\n\nBut as I said, it's really not called any more (and Lebron knows that, he was smart to make that move).\n\nJordan started the traveling/but not really traveling moves, he was never called for it, but he did it all the time...again, he was smart for taking advantage of the fact that he knew it would not be called against him.

The best way to get better at a sport is practice!  Find your weeknesses and work on them till they get better. So lets say you aren't that great at dribbling...What you have to do is set up a set of cones in a row and/or curving around (to represent players) and dribble around the outsides of the cones while keeping control of the ball.  If you have shooting problems, just keep shooting for a few hours and you'll get it.  I suggest for a shooting problem to start off trying to make 5 shots in a row without missing.  If you miss you should start back at 0 and work up to 5 again.  Do this with lay-ups and once you master those, move on to free throws.  then back 2 steps, then back another 2 steps.  Keep doing that untill you reach 2 steps past the (invisible three point line) if you are on your driveway or just past the regular three point line.

Make sure you have the proper, comfortable stance and balance.\nSee the rim.\nExtend your wrist backwards.\nThe basketball should rest on your fingerpads.\nTry to keep your elbow in and under the ball\nUse your legs... the longer the shot, the more you use your legs.\nRaise the ball smoothly and in one, fluid motion.\nFinish high with your arm to get good "arc" on the shot.\nFlop your wrist with a constant, relaxed follow through to get that backspin for a "shooter´s touch".

After you stop dribbiling you have to either shoot the ball or pass it. But you can lift one foot (your left or your right) if you lift up your left foot (it really doesn't matter which one you use) then your right foot is your pivot foot. You can't change your pivot foot otherwise that would be a travel. The foot you lift up can be used to to turn your body around your pivot foot. You can not lift your pivot foot off the ground or change it after you have picked it. This is extremly hard to elpxain with words so go to this site http://en.mimi.hu/basketball/pivot_foot.html

Pick&Roll\nOkay have you stand on the right side of the court. Designate a point guard and a post player based on heigth, speed, rebounding, and handles abilities. Use the pick-and-roll. Have the post player roll to the right. And at the same time the point guard dribble in. The point guard now has three options based on who's open: dump it off to your post player, pass out to you, or take it himself, all depending on the open man. It's almost guaranteed someone will be open.\n\nGive&Go\nOkay, have your post player come to about the free throw line, have your point guard pass it to him. Immediately after the point guard passes the ball, have him sprint toward the hoop and have the post player pass it in for the easy lay-up. This play may only work once or twice in a game because it's key element is suprise.\n\nIssolation\nThe most simple play there is. Have your best player or a mismatched play take his defender one on one. If they double: pass, if not: shoot or drive.

I believe it is now classified as a contact sport.\n\n"basketball has been classified as both a contact sport (Huang et al., 1999) and a no contact sport (Zillmann et al, 1974). Although the degree of contact in basketball is somewhat less than in football or rugby because players cannot deliberately hit to bring each other down, physical clashes are frequent, and athletes must be strong enough to deal with it."

Slick Vic has a good idea but its better to start off dribbling with one hand. These are some of the exercises my old coach showed me. Start dribbling the ball normally, but do it with only one finger. Then dribble the ball with two fingers while dribbling faster and dribbling the ball closer to the ground. Go up to five fingers and u should dribble the ball barely off the ground. \nAnother exercise is the figure 8. Dribble the ball close to the ground, spread your legs apart and dribble the ball in a figure 8 around ur legs, left hand around the left leg, right hand around the right leg:)

You can swat the ball away if it's still making "upward progress" toward the basket. If it's coming down, swatting it away is goaltending. Just don't foul the shooter.

Shoot the basketball every day. Practice driving into the lane and laying the ball into the basket. Also practice your rebounding. Try to improve your vertical leap and quickness off the dribble. When you are in a basketball game, shoot the ball with confidence. Don't be thinking that you are going to miss your shot. Be thinking that the ball is going to go in the basket.

Say the point guard is dribbling the ball, and someone on the other team is guarding them. Another person on offense comes up and blocks him (called a pick) and the point guard will go around the person setting the pick. When he is past him, the one setting the pick will roll to the basket expecting a pass.
