Running and Dribbling a Basketball by the Hoop
Coloring guide
With short spiky hair and a big grin, this boy runs along dribbling a basketball with one hand, and all that cheerful energy makes the page a fun one for young sports fans. He's dressed in a sleeveless jersey, shorts with a stripe down the side, sneakers and tall socks, and his free arm swings back as he moves. On the right behind him, a hoop with a net, a backboard and a sturdy base stands next to a simple court line. The ball has bold, clear lines that small hands can handle easily. Try an orange ball and a bright team color like blue or red on his jersey and shorts, so he pops against the hoop. Save it as a free PDF for a quiet, creative moment. Fans of Basketball coloring pages often like MLB / Baseball and NFL / Football as well.
