Rebounding - How Much Do You Want the Ball?

Rebounding, just like defense, come ups down to one thing - how much make you desire the ball! You don't have got got to be that tall - expression at Prince Charles Barkley.

You don't have to be able to leap that high - expression at Jason Kidd. Controlling the glass depends on how much you desire the ball. You have got got to be mean. You have got got to be aggressive. You have got got to be something of an animal. I have got got coached participants who were not great passerbies or did not have great dribbling accomplishments and could not hit if their life depended on it.

However,if these participants could acquire to the glass, they got plenty of playing time.

Offensive Rebounding

Pursue every board and lose ball with strength and desire. Spin off the first contact. Use a speedy and explosive move toward the ball. Secure the ball with two hands, elbow joints out.

Defensive Rebounding

The cardinal is to do contact as quickly and effectively as possible (boxing out) Measure to the offense participant and swivel into him - making contact.

Front Pivot - Used against participants outside the cardinal country because you can maintain the participant in your line of sight longer.

Reverse Pivot - Used when in the key. Pivot to the side of your oppositions movement.

Rebounding Drills

Here are a couple of electric drills you can utilize to learn your participants how to rebound.

Drill #1 - Spin off the first man (For violative participants crashing the boards)

Offensive participants begin at 3 point line. The defensive participants begin at the free throw line. Offense participants onslaught and spin around off the first contact. Defensive participants only do initial contact.

Drill # 2 - Keep Out

Players spouse up with a teammate who plays a similar function on the squad (ie - guard with guard) Offense participants line up outside the cardinal while the defensive participants play deny defence on their checks. Coach hits the ball, hopefully it falls through the hoop.

While boxing out, defensive participants must maintain the offense participants off the ball long adequate for the ball to bounce. If an offense participant even touchings the ball before it bounces, the full defensive attitude unit of measurement is forced to make a conditioning drill. If the defensive squad lets the ball to resile for three sequent shots, the offense unit of measurement must make a conditioning drill.

Drills

Jab Measure Practice

Simply have got the participants work on their footwork without a defender. Practicing any footwork takes clip - but essential.

Static Defense Drill

Players are in braces - one discourtesy and one defense. Offense participant starts in a ternary menace place and carries the jabbing and go, the rocker and the rocker and travel at 1/2 speed. As footwork develops, the offense participant will get moving at 3/4 velocity and then full speed.

Emphasize: Protect the ball. Keep balance. A long and explosive first step.
