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.
Panicked passes under full-court pressure cost easy turnovers. Teach calm spacing and simple reads so your team beats the press instead of feeding it.
A ready-to-run Halloween session for junior basketball: zombie tag, ball control, a ghost rondo and a pumpkin patch shooting game.
Four players standing still make every ball handler's job harder. Teach V-cuts, L-cuts and back cuts so your team gets open and punishes defenders who overplay.
