NBA Rebounding Drill

Purpose: Three players rebound and try to score against each other.

Setup: Three players in the lane.

Execution:

1. Coach says “go” and tosses the ball to a player or area.
2. Player gets ball and shoots.
3. Players must rebound and shoot until they score two baskets, then that person rotates out and a new player rotates in.
4. There is no dribbling in this drill.
5. The players can use the coach as a passer.

Coaching Tips:

• There is no out-of-bounds and no fouls called in this “No Babies Allowed” drill that’s also good for toughening up your post players.
• When chinning the ball, watch for elbows out and fingers pointed up.
• Another variation of this drill is to have the players keep the ball up (by bringing it to their forehead) and going straight back up with the shot instead of bringing it down and chinning the ball.
