Working in a circuit, players take lay-ups from alternate elbows.
After making the shot players should collect their own rebounds and then dribble to the other end to make their next shot.
Work in this way for 30 second intervals.
Drive towards the basket and when you're ready to shoot place your weight on to your front leg (the opposite to your shooting arm - so for right-handers this will be your left leg).
Take off from this foot, pushing hard and keep both hands on the ball until the last moment.
Release the ball and aim for the top corner of the rectangle, aiming to score off the back board.
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.
