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.
Talent wins games, but chemistry wins championships. Building a positive team culture, establishing shared values, and developing trust creates teams that exceed the sum of their parts.
Getting to the rim is only half the battle. Converting against shot blockers and help defenders requires a toolkit of creative finishes. The best scorers have multiple ways to score at the basket.
Traditional positions are becoming obsolete. Modern basketball rewards versatile players who can handle, pass, shoot, and defend across multiple positions. Developing these skills creates valuable, adaptable players.
