What's in the Session?
In order to prepare your players for the challenge of gaining the ball after a missed shot this week's session has 10 Offensive and Defensive Rebound drills - starting with individual exercises and slowly building up to more intense challenging team box out drills. The session focuses on getting the players thinking about their positioning to anticipate the rebound before the original shot has even been taken.
