The study was conducted on thirty (N=30) men Basketball Players who have participated Anna University Zone–16 Inter collegiate men Basketball tournament held at Vellammal College of Engineering, Madurai, Tamilnadu, India during the year 2014–2015. Subjects were randomly assigned equally into two groups, Group –I underwent Basketball Specific Training Group (n = 15) and Group II (n=15) acted as control. Among various Basketball skills only Dribbling was selected for this study. Dribbling was assessed by Johnson Basket ball test. The data collected data from the two groups prior to and immediately after the training programme on the selected criterion variables were statistically analyzed with dependent ‘t’ test and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Only two groups were analyzed, so post hoc test was not applied. In all the cases 0.05 level of confidence was fixed as a level of confidence. Basketball Dribbling showed significant difference between the groups.
