Basketball drills for technique rebounding

• Parties with different assignments/restrictions. 
• Please note:
  • Walk freely.
  • Do not dribble blindly.
  • Pass well.
  • Pivot.
  • Talking.
• 3x3 without dribbling. (1 basket)
• First 10 passes.
• Both teams on the back line. (on stomach)
• Trainer puts ball in play via shot or bounce. (Quick positioning, who will attack?).
• Just play to the 10 (end game).

  
  

• 3 or 4 defenders rotate in the paint.
  • Closeout as they come from low to high.
• 3-4 attackers stand on 3-line.
• Coach passes from baseline to attacker.
  • Attacker shoots directly.
• Attack rebounds then defense runs.

In this exercise, the basics of rebounding are explained and practiced (again).

Low center of gravity

• Pairs of equal strength, without the ball.
• Each pair backs against each other.
• Start on the baseline, player on the baseline (attacker) tries to push the player with his back towards him (defender) to the opposite side.
• Defender must have his back straight and his knees deep, so that the centre of gravity is low.
• Once on the other side, the players swap roles and go the other way.

Explanation of basic movements

• Watch where the attacker is going.
• Make contact with hand/arm.
• Pivot so your back is turned to your opponent.
• Box out!

Exercise

• Same pair on the baseline, about a metre apart.
• Trainer calls out left or right.
• Attackers then calmly take a few steps towards defender.
• Defender carries out steps.
• NOTE: attacker must step slowly for the exercise!
• After a few rolls, attacker/defender turn around.

Game shape

• Same pair, around the centre circle. (Defender on the circle line, 1 ball in the middle.)
• When the trainer says GO, the attackers try to get the ball, the defenders have to box out!
• After a few rolls attacker/defender turn around.

• Rows of 5-6 men, 2 per basket, 1 ball per row.
• Throw ball against the board, next player catches and throws again immediately against the board.
• U12-2 must catch ball in the air.

2 rows, 1 ball per team

• Player scores, rebounds own ball, and passes to next player in line
• Player who scored runs to the other baseline to retrieve a pawn and brings it back to the group. Can also be done with the volleyball scoreboard (keeping track of points, best of 5)
• Group with most pawns at the end wins
