How do improve dribbling with my left hand?

Shooting is OK for me, it's just I can't dribble with my left hand. My right hand isn't great at it either. I want to try out for high school bball in a month, so how can i get better at dribblin w./ my left (and right) hands?
U think trying out will help my dribbling? What?

The only way to get better at anything is practice. But it also has to be the right kind of practice. If you really want to be good, you'll need to practice every day.

Start basic. Practice dribbling with your head up and don't worry about running full speed, until you can safely control the ball..

Do each ball handling drill with your left hand and with your right hand. Be sure to keep your head up and don't "stand up" out of an athletic position.

One of my favorite drills is the wall dribble. Standing with your body facing perpendicularly to the wall, and with the ball roughly an arms length from the wall begin to dribble against the wall, moving closer and changing speeds (and hands). Its a lot easier if you do a set of 5-10 a time, rotating hands each set.

The figure eight dribble is always a great way to use both hands.

When you're really good, you can dribble two balls with your head up, bringing the ball gradually closer to the ground, doing crossovers and dribbling behind your back (all with your head up).

Left handed crochet help

Working crochet left-handed is just as easy as working it right-handed. The methods for forming the stitches and holding the hook and yarn remain the same; you simply use your left instead of right hand. Patterns and instructions are generally written for right-handed people.

Therefore, remember to substitute left for right and vice versa. This is the only adjustment you will need to make. The easiest way to learn crochet if you're left-handed is to sit opposite another crocheter and mirror their movements.

If you're using a book for instruction, you can take the illustrations to a copiers and ask them to make transfer image copies. This flips the images over. If looking at diagrams on the Internet, keep a mirror next to your monitor. Position it so that you can view your monitor through it. The mirror will flip the images to make them left hand interpreted. Alternately, use the right click function on your mouse over the image.

Any image-editing program, like Windows Paint, will allow you to reverse diagrams before printing out by doing a "horizontal flip". Usually though, it can be easier to change the settings on your printer so that it reverse or mirror image prints.

Sometimes, you may have to take a few minutes to prepare if you're a left hander, but the amount of effort is minimal and will save you hours that could be lost trying to figure out how to reverse instructions.
