In this session we look at getting your players to understand the importance of following up the shot and being ready for the rebound - making sure they're the first to the ball for that second chance to score!
To make sure your players are anticipating the rebound and not reacting too late when in a promising attacking position to get them converting more points.
Starting with a lively 'Simon Says' warm up drill your players will then start practising rebounding the ball to themselves off the wall to get used to following the bounce of the ball before progressing the skill, increasing the competition to win the ball.
After coaching this session your players should be more confident when competing for both attacking and defensive rebounds.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
