How to Rebound

Here is some technical rebounding drills to practice to enhance your play in a basketball game situation.

1. Stand two steps back and throw the basketball against the backboard

2. Jump and grab the basket ball at the top of your jump

3. Pull the basket ball down to just below your chin with elbows out

4. Land on balance and turn to the outside and find the outlet

5. Take ten rebounds on both sides

NOTE: More advanced basket ball players should turn in the air and land facing to the outside ready to make an outlet passing play.

1. Drill begins as the one above

2. As the rebounder turns to the outside, the opposing basket ball team is pressuring the outlet pass

3. Fake the outlet pass and take one or two hard dribbles to the corner to defeat the pressure

1. Stand half way up the lane

2. Throw the basket ball hard off the backboard and rip the ball out of the air

3. Land on balance with the basket ball held firmly under the chin

4. Take the ball strong to the basket and finish with a power lay-up

5. Take ten rebounds on both sides
