War Drill (8 minute drill)

(1 basketball. 6. 8 or 10 players. Full Court)

Defense is in the paint and matches up. On the shot by the coach. their goal is to go meet the offense outside of the paint and keep them out of it.

The offensive players are set up behind the three point line and except for the point guard, (who gets back on defense), are going hard to the rim. The defender on the point guard should look to help on boxing someone else out.

This is a highly competitive drill with a winner and loser. If the offense gets the rebound they get a point and can try to score a 2 or 3 pointer. If they score we set the drill back up. If the defense gets the rebound or forces a turnover, there is no point scored but they push the basketball down court (transition offense) and try to score on the other end. On a score or turnover by them, play stops and we set the drill back up.

The ball will only go from one end to the other end one time and then the drill would be reset. If we don’t reset the drill it becomes a transition drill and not a contact drill.

There are no points on a made shot by the coach but it is still played like a rebound.

6 Basketball Rebounding Tips for Players

Rebounding Technique

-See the shot

Players must be aware of when and where a shot is taken. Whether on defense or offense, they should know at all times. The defender guarding the shooter has the responsibility of letting his team mates know when a shot is being taken. The words "shot," "short," or "long" can be used to give the rebounding team mates an advantage.

- Assume the shot will be missed

Every shot attempt means a potential rebound. Players must learn to always assume that every shot will be a miss and go to their rebounding assignment.

- Locate the opponent

- Go to the opponent and block out

The purpose of blocking out is to gain a positional advantage over an opponent for a rebound. A player is more likely to get a rebound off a missed shot if positioned closer to the basket than the opponent. This is called inside position, because you are positioned on the inside of your opponent. The correct stance for blocking an opponent out is feet set, knees bent, feet should be parallel and shoulder-width apart, arms raised, elbows bent, and palms up/forward.

- Go to the ball

- Get and keep the ball

- Move the ball out or down the court

How To Teach Rebounding In Basketball

Now, teaching your players how to become great offensive rebounders

is certainly not an easy task. In fact, it is one of the hardest

things to teach players how to do...

But, to make things easier for you, below we have provided some

key pointers that will instantly help your players develop into

better offensive rebounders:

> Anticipation

You need to teach your players to anticipate when and where the

shot is going to be taken. So, the rebounder has to keep an eye on

the person with the ball and try to anticipate whether he/she is

looking to shoot or pass...

..the key to getting the offensive rebound is being able to

beat the defender to the spot. If your player knows that a teammate is

going to shoot, then they can start setting up for an offensive

rebound. Tell your players to know their teammates, study them well,

and know when they like to shoot.

=> TIP: 70% of the shots end up on the opposite side of the

shooter, so have your players position themselves away from the

shooter. Also, make sure to instruct your players to follow their

shots. This is something so simple, yet often times over looked.

Teach them: If you're the one shooting, simply run in for the rebound

right away, every single time.

=> TIP: Teach your players to look at the ball in the air, and

determine if it's going to be short or long. Make sure to spend

some practice time focusing on this. With enough practice, your

players will get really good at predicting where the ball will end

up.

> Attitude & Focus

Instill in your players that rebounding is 75% desire and 25%

physical. You need to motivate your players to have the passion

and desire to grab the rebound. Your players need to remember, that

the player that wants it the most will get the rebound.

=> TIP: Your players need to assume that every shot will be missed.

This will help them get in the right frame of mind to go after

each shot. If they think the shot might go in, they

won't even begin setting up for the rebound.

=> TIP: Teach your players to have active hands. Only good things

can happen if your player can get their hands on the ball. Tell them

to keep their hands up, palms open, ready to grab or swat the ball

as needed.

> Counter-Moves

Your players are not always going to guess right, or be in the

right position to get the rebound. That's why you must teach them

great counter-moves for getting around their defender.

=> TIP: Fake and Go -- Before the defender makes contact with your

player, have them step as though they are going to go in one

direction and then they should quickly step in the opposite

direction to gain position.

=> TIP: Spin Move -- Teach your players to make their defensive

player overplay one side, and then have them quickly spin in the

opposite direction to gain the advantage.

So, as you can see, quickness plays a big role in getting the

offensive rebound.

If you have players that can make quick moves, and get off the

ground quickly, then he/she will definitely have the advantage.

Many times, it's not the tallest player that gets the rebound;

rather, it's the one who gets off the ground the quickest.

And, being able to jump high is also a big advantage...
