Basketball: Reaction rebound drill

Develop a fundamentally sound power forward! Use this session to work on all the skills required for a Power Forward, a critical position for any successful basketball team!

Transform your players into confident, rebounders, ready to box-out at will to create a match-winning play from a bad situation.

Four teams of three rebounders

The coach tosses the ball up for the 1st three players to battle for the rebound. The player that catches the ball is the attacker, and the remaining two players then try to stop the attacker from scoring.

The 1st player to make 2 baskets moves to the end of their line. The winner is the 1st team to get all 3 players through.

Player 1 will toss ball onto the backboard – get a defensive rebound using all good fundamentals

Player 4 will signal and call for ‘outlet pass’.
Player 1 pivots and makes a good chest or overhead pass, then following their pass and joining ‘outlet’ line.

Player 4 passes to Player 2 and follows their pass to join the rebounding line.

Coach has the ball.
Players are moving as if in a game.
Coach will toss ball on backboard.
Defensive players must box out and rebound.
Offensive players try to rebound and score.

The coach feeds the ball off the backboard. If the offence gets it and scores they get 2 points. If the defence gets the rebound, they get 1 point. As soon as the coach shoots then its a 2 v 2 game.
