Wheelchair Basketball: Dribbling

You have to dribble. Now, I can pick it up. In able body basketball, if you pick it up and start dribbling again, that is double dribble. In able body basketball, you can't be dribbling, pick it up, and dribble again. In wheelchair basketball, that is a difference. That is allowed, so I can be pushing along, and I could pick up the ball, and then I can start dribbling again, so now, traveling. On your feet, if you grab the ball, and you take a couple of steps, that is traveling. The referee goes, and turnover. Well, in wheelchair basketball, there is traveling. I can't push more than twice without dribbling, so let me show you here. Most of the time, I'm just always dribbling, you know, right hand, left hand. You're dribbling. You flip it around your back, and over your lap, because you just have to, and you just always dribble, but some guys to get more momentum, might put it on their lap. Push once. Push twice. You can't push again, or that's like taking more than two steps on your feet, but most of the time, we're just always dribbling, but there is a such a thing, as traveling. You can't just push more than twice, so it's a change of direction. I can't grab a ball, and push once. Push twice, and then push a third time, that's traveling, so I'm probably getting a little bit complicated here, but the main thing I just want you to know, is there's no such thing as double dribbling in wheelchair basketball, but traveling, there is traveling in wheelchair basketball.
