Purpose

Players practice their rebounding fundamentals.

Drill Setup

Players line up at the elbow.

How It Works

Coach throws the ball off the glass and the player comes in and rebounds it.

Player should go up “spread eagle,” catch the ball and land.

The player then chins the ball, pivots and throws it out to a coach or player on the wing.

Run the drill from both elbows.

Coaching Tips

Whenever a pass is made all defenders must “jump to the ball.”

Also, defenders should never turn their back to the ball. They must always be able to see the ball and the person.
