Rebounding War Drill

The players on the defensive team must have all feet inside the paint. The five offensive players are position around the arc. The coach starts the drill by shooting and intentionally missing. Action now becomes live. The defensive team must successfully block out the offensive team, while the offensive team attacks the offensive glass. If the offensive team secures a rebound, live play continues. The offensive team works half-court and tries to score. If the offense scores or gets fouled, play stops, and the offensive players move to the paint and become defenders. The coach once again shoots the ball to start the action. If the defensive players secure a rebound, they immediately attack in transition. If they score or get fouled at the other end, they stay in the paint as defenders and the coach once again shoots the ball to start action. If the defensive team rebounds, runs, misses a shot at the other end and the opposing team successfully rebounds the ball, play continues and the rebounding team attacks in transition. Play continues until one team scores, gets fouled or the coach halts the drill. One point for a defensive rebound. One point for an offensive rebound. One point for any made field goal or getting fouled.
