In basketball, securing rebounds is critical to winning games. For both offensive and defensive rebounding, grabbing boards is all about reacting to the ball. All aspects of rebounding, from establishing a good, athletic stance to keeping the ball high, work toward the same goal: Get the ball. In IMG Academy's 3 Basketball Drills to Become Better at Rebounding drills video, our coaches focus on rebounding techniques that will help you dominate the glass on both sides of the court.
What You’ll Learn
This video shows three basketball rebound drills designed to help you become a better rebounder. Watch how student-athletes perform each drill from both an offensive and defensive approach with instruction from former NBA player – and current IMG Academy basketball coach – Daniel Santiago on stance, foot positioning, and player contact.
The video breaks down all three drills and shows how each specific rebounding drill functions to improve your skills. These drills are:
- Rebounding Battle Drill
- Free Throw Box Out Drill
- Superman Drill
In the Rebounding Battle Drill, student-athletes show how to outwork and “battle” each other to get the ball.
In the Free Throw Box Out Drill, players box-out from free throw positioning to prevent the other team from scoring put-back baskets.
The Superman Drill helps athletes chase the ball off the backboard.
