SINGLE LINE REBOUND
DRILL

The coach controls the ball and the
- player cuts for the basket. The coach
@ cacn may pass to the player for a feed shot
or he may properly time a shot at the
basket for a rebound by the cutting
player. If a shot is taken the player
will cut for a point in front of the
basket where he will be in position for
rebounds to the right or left or short
or deep front rebounds. He attempts
to lay them back in the basket and con-
tinues until a basket is made. The
coach purposely misses the basket and
with some practice is able to make the
eS ball rebound as in usual missed shot
situations.
LA The same drill can be used on shots
from out on the floor. The option of
feeding the player for a shot occasion-
ally is added to make the player cut
in as he would under game situations.

 

 

 

 

REBOUND DRILL WITHOUT THE BASKET

This drill may be best executed by removing the basket from one of the
practice goals or may be carried out against a gymnasium wall. A single
player may be used or an entire group.

The ball is tossed against the bank or wall and the players must re-
bound it back against the wall for a number of times. This drill is effec-
tive for practice in timing spring and in overhead fundamentals of re-
bounds prior to the use of the other drills given. Insist on the players
catching the ball and shooting in the air. Some consideration may be given
to slapping or batting the ball hard against the board as a last resort if
the individual rebounds it from that attempt.

This drill may be used with a guard against the player or players.
The rebound man must not give ground back to the defensive man and
must maneuver to get his best rebound position.

 

ee TWO LINE REBOUND DRILL
®@ Player B intentionally misses a
& short shot and player A coming in to a

Ee point in front of the basket and about

four to five feet out, sets his foot ready
A to jump in any direction and re-
bounds the ball. If A misses the basket,
B aids him in rebounding until a basket
is made. The ball is then passed to the
next men who continue the drill.

In all rebound drills the coach
Sire he should stress coming to a position in
Se front of the basket as shown.
