Shooters to take shots at goal and deliberately miss to cause a rebound situation.
Initially have the defender standing beside the shooter and jumping in, across the player to box the shooter out and grab the rebound.
Once players have a feel for this movement, have them defend the shot with the correct distance, as if in a game situation. The defender then needs to react to the shot being taken, turn quickly and box (block) the player out from the rebound.
Coaching points
Boxing out allows the defender to be in an optimal position when contesting for the rebound.
Defenders to use their bodies to hold the space in front of them so that the shooters do not move closer to the post.
Progression
When the defenders have a feel for boxing out, have the shooters follow the shot and contest the rebound.
