Rebounding Print E-mail

On defensive rebound player turns away, (turns out) protecting ball and makes outlet pass or escape dribble to outlet.

  • Go to your rebound and through it.
  • Rebound ball at highest point, apex.
  • Always use two hands.
  • When you have possession yell "ball."
  • Spread eagle, hit floor with wide stance and knees bent. Make yourself big. Chin ball - elsbows out - protecting ball.

Offensive Rebound - Player uses same principles as above except he turns into basket and goes right up with ball after he gets possession. If he misses again he goes after ball again until he succeeds. Use head fake in order to throw defender off balance or pass ball to teammate who is free.
