Why is Footwork Important?

Proper footwork is the foundation of the game of basketball. Building proper footwork techniques can enhance an athlete’s ability to play the game of basketball on offense and defense. Balance, control, speed, coordination, jumping, sliding, running and changing direction all start with fundamental footwork.
