indent Abstract
This study was primarily aimed at detecting dribbling techniques, used in the European Championship in Poland, their frequency and effi ciency. Secondary goal of the research was to explain the game of basketball in offense in a more exact way according to the analysed technical and tactical dribbling activities. In the sample of eight games four variables were observed: time of using dribble, different starts of dribble, dribble course and dribble fi nish. Observation protocol was applied on each game and on each player separately. According to the acquired data it can be concluded that eight games at the 2009 European Championship in Poland were dominated by the dribbling technique which was characterised by crossover step, in which cross over dribble was most used and most frequent fi nish was in passing after stop. When it comes to the time of using dribble, it is evident that all the observed teams had almost the same time of using dribble, but that also the time of using dribble partly affected fi nal placement, because the teams which used it the least played in the fi nals , Spain 31.28 minutes and Serbia 32.28 minutes. The team that used dribbling the least became the champion, and that was the team of Spain.
