UCLA Rebound and Outlet Drill
Purpose
Teaches players to purse the basketball and make a good outlet pass.
Drill Setup
One line of players forms at the elbow. Another line is on that same-side wing.
How It Works
- The player at the elbow throws the ball against the glass and goes and rebounds it.
- He then makes an outlet pass to a player on the wing.
- The wing player passes to the next player in the rebounding line.

Rebounders go get the ball and look to make a strong outlet pass.
Coaching Tips
Rebounders should be attacking the ball at its highest point. They should then chin the ball, pivot and make a hard, accurate two-hand overhead pass to the wing.
You can also run this drill with two balls or to make it more difficult with a weighted ball.
