Defensive Rebound & Outlet Drill

Purpose: Players practice defensive rebounding and outlet passing.

Setup: A line of players at each elbow. One player on each wing.

Execution:

1. Players create their own rebound by tossing the ball high off the glass.
2. They go get the rebound, chin the ball and then pass it out to the outlet man on the wing.
3. The wing player passes to the next person in line and the drill repeats with rebounders going to the wing and wing players going to the back of the rebounding lines.

Coaching Tips:

• When chinning the ball, watch for elbows out and fingers pointed up.
• Look for hard, accurate passes, the ball should never hit the floor.
• Players should be going up getting rebounds with “two hands, two feet”
