My Project

Basketball players use tennis balls, cones, defense pads, and goggles for various training and safety reasons. Tennis balls are often used in drills to improve hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and ball control. For example, players might dribble a basketball while also bouncing a tennis ball with the other hand, improving multitasking and focus. Cones are used for agility drills to improve footwork, speed, and movement patterns. They help players practice changing directions quickly and develop better control over their positioning during the game. Each of these items helps enhance a player's skills while ensuring safety during practice and game situations.
