Start in the corner of the court by the sideline and baseline, players lined up one behind another along the baseline;
First player leads the line crouched and sidestepping diagonally across one half of the court;
Keep low, arms outstretched as if defending;
At the corner of the half court line and the sideline jog normally along the half court line;
At the opposite side of the court, low crouched sidestepping diagonally to the corner of the court at the baseline and the sideline;
Jog normally along the baseline to the starting position;
Repeat as desired.

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.
