This drill can help players improve their timing whan grabbing rebounds, it helps them learning ho to pivot and throw the outlet pass and then catching the ball at full speed and make tha lay-up.

Instructions

Player 1 throws the ball at the backboard, then he goes after the ball and grabs the rebound while in the air. Then he pivots out of the post area and throws an outlet pass to player 2. Player 1 then sprints widely around player 2 and runs up the court, like he¥s on a fastbreak. When player 2 receives the ball, he pushes it at top speed up the middle of the court to th foul line. When he reaches the foul line, he comes to a jump stop. Then he passes the ball to player 1, who makes the lay-up. Player 2 takes the rebound while player 1 goes to the outlet area. Player 2 goes to the free-throw line and then the two players repeat the drill.
