Little Dribblers are first-grade students from South Whidbey Elementary School coached by Jan McNeely.

About two dozen kids demonstrated their handles on what may be their future home court. They dribbled with their right hand, then their left. They freestyled with the ball, dribbling between their legs, off their heads and often off the court (by accident). They spun the ball around their backs. They bounced the ball standing, sitting and kneeling.
