Rebounding

Like defense, rebounding takes dedication. But rebounding is easier if you understand the basics of boxing out, timing, and the importance of defensive positioning.

Ball on a rope

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.

Weave Blockout

Have the player get in three lines at half court (just like doing three man weave). The player in the middle has the ball. He passes the ball to the person to the right as they move down the floor to the basket, the person on the right pass to the person on the left. After one set of passes, person who started the drill will become the shooter on the wing.The person on the right will be on the left side outside the lane as an offensive player. The person on the left becomes the defensive player guarding the offensive player on the left. The defensive player must have good defensive postioning. The player with the ball shots the ball and the defensive player then must block his offensive player out and get the ball.
