Four players on each team.
The offence will set up around the outside of the 3 point line.
The defence will be set out around the key.
When the coach yells rotate, the defensive team rotates around to the next position.
When the coach shoots the ball, the defensive players will box out the offensive players attacking for the rebound.
If the offensive team gets a rebound they play live trying to score.
If it is a defensive rebound then the teams will switch over.
Players must sprint to the next spot when you say "Rotate". You can try to catch your defensive players out by shooting just after shouting rotate to find out how quickly they can adjust and react!
Scoring:
Defensive Rebound- 1 Point.
Offensive Rebound- 2 Points 1 if they score a basket.
First to 15 points.
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.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
