Ball on a rope

Instructions

This is a rebounding drill for teaching boxing out under the basket. This drill is extremely important now that referees seldom call over the back. I coach high school girls and it is very important to our team that we get position and hold it under the basket.

This drill can be 1 on 1, 2 on 2, etc.

I take a tetherball. A tetherball is a ball attached to a rope. I throw the tetherball through the basket and hold onto the other end of the rope. I line up my team in as many lines as I like. I always start this drill 1 on 1. I yell shot and the offense player crashes the boards. It is the defensive player’s responsibility to box out the offensive player and then go get the tetherball. The tetherball is hanging just below net level. The defensive player must box out, go get the ball, and pull it down forcefully. If the player has not boxed out to my satisfaction, I simply pull the ball up before they can get to it, and make them do it again. It is very important to make sure the players do not undercut each other in this drill. We are looking to be agressive but clean.
