Basketball drills for technique rebounding

• Parties with different assignments/restrictions. 
• Please note:
  • Walk freely.
  • Do not dribble blindly.
  • Pass well.
  • Pivot.
  • Talking.
• 3x3 without dribbling. (1 basket)
• First 10 passes.
• Both teams on the back line. (on stomach)
• Trainer puts ball in play via shot or bounce. (Quick positioning, who will attack?).
• Just play to the 10 (end game).

  
  

• Line up for free throws
• Let the ball bounce on the ground (defenders must keep the attackers away until the ball has stopped)
• When the attacker gets the ball, push up (whole team)

• 3 defenders in a row in the paint.
  • Give them number one, two, three.
• 3 attackers at the three-point line position head and wing.
• Coach passes to one of the 3 attackers and calls nrs 1-3
• Defender with that number close-out to attacker with ball.
• Attacker shoots (may use 1 dribble). Defence boxt-out

• 3 or 4 defenders rotate in the paint.
  • Closeout as they come from low to high.
• 3-4 attackers stand on 3-line.
• Coach passes from baseline to attacker.
  • Attacker shoots directly.
• Attack rebounds then defense runs.

In this exercise, the basics of rebounding are explained and practiced (again).

Low center of gravity

• Pairs of equal strength, without the ball.
• Each pair backs against each other.
• Start on the baseline, player on the baseline (attacker) tries to push the player with his back towards him (defender) to the opposite side.
• Defender must have his back straight and his knees deep, so that the centre of gravity is low.
• Once on the other side, the players swap roles and go the other way.

Explanation of basic movements

• Watch where the attacker is going.
• Make contact with hand/arm.
• Pivot so your back is turned to your opponent.
• Box out!

Exercise

• Same pair on the baseline, about a metre apart.
• Trainer calls out left or right.
• Attackers then calmly take a few steps towards defender.
• Defender carries out steps.
• NOTE: attacker must step slowly for the exercise!
• After a few rolls, attacker/defender turn around.

Game shape

• Same pair, around the centre circle. (Defender on the circle line, 1 ball in the middle.)
• When the trainer says GO, the attackers try to get the ball, the defenders have to box out!
• After a few rolls attacker/defender turn around.

• Rows of 5-6 men, 2 per basket, 1 ball per row.
• Throw ball against the board, next player catches and throws again immediately against the board.
• U12-2 must catch ball in the air.

2 rows, 1 ball per team

• Player scores, rebounds own ball, and passes to next player in line
• Player who scored runs to the other baseline to retrieve a pawn and brings it back to the group. Can also be done with the volleyball scoreboard (keeping track of points, best of 5)
• Group with most pawns at the end wins

Triplets with a ball.

• Trainer throws ball against the board, team must rebound and choose outlet.
• Trainer blocks off one side so they have to pick and ask for the ball!
• Outlet dribbles to the middle and 3X0 completes with a layup (pace.)

• Depending on the level of the U12 explain: outlet, ask for the ball (hands), fill in lines and run attack.
• Trainer can be disruptive at the 2x1, pay attention to left and right handed dribbling.

Games with different assignments/restrictions.
Pay attention to free running, not blind dribbling, good passing, pivoting, talking.

• 3x3 without dribbling (1 basket)
• with max 2 dribbles
• Both teams lie on the back line (on stomach),
• trainer puts ball in play via shot or bounce (quickly choose position, who will attack?)
• just play to the 10 (end game)

• Ball up pass to bed.
• the down man runs in and passes to the middle man.
• The middle man passes to the first passer
• who runs in for a lay up.

• Basket 1: 4-6 players
• Passer.
  • Post up in the bucket with defender.
• Offense stays offense until offense gets 5 baskets.
• One try per post-up.
  • If miss, pass ball to the passer. Till 5.
• Than other team.
  • Then switch defender/offender.
• Each player twice in offense and twice in defense.
