Basketball Drills - Rebounding 2-on-2 Drills
From the Coach’s Clipboard Basketball Playbook, @ http://www.coachesclipboard.netThis rebounding drill stresses the basics of boxing out, being aggressive, and making the outlet pass, and "finishing" on the offensive glass.
Setup: See the diagram... two rows, one on each side of the free throw lane. The first player in each line becomes a defender and moves down by the blocks and will box-out the next player in line. The next player in each line are offensive players. Have a player at each wing for the outlet pass. The coach, or manager, shoots the ball from the free-throw line. The Drill: |

Offensive players should be aggressive, try to get the offensive rebound, and power it back up to the hoop. Play until either the defense rebounds and outlet passes, or the offense rebounds and scores (limit offensive possessions to 6 seconds to keep the drill moving). Then rotate to the next group. Offensive players now are defenders.
Make sure all players hustle, are aggressive and are using good rebounding technique... with proper boxing out, attacking the ball, and making a good outlet pass. If the defense fails to secure the rebound, both players run a lap. Offensive players should be aggressive and power the ball back up to the hoop, scoring quickly (within 6 seconds). If the offense scores, they have "immunity" for when they go on defense. If, when they are on defense, they successfully get the rebound, they keep their "immunity" for the next time. If they fail to get the rebound, they lose the immunity, but don't have to run that lap. An offensive rebound with failure to score is nothing, no immunity.
You can also run this drill with just one line, one defender and one outlet receiver.
Wing Skip-Pass and Box-Out Back-Side Drill
This a helpside, close-out and box-out drill. Start with the ball on either wing, with the opposite wing defender in helpside. When the ball is skip-passed, the helpside defender closes-out. X2 sprints to helpside. O3 shoots and O2 goes for the back-side rebound. X2 must find and box-out O2 and rebound. X3 must box-out the shooter (without fouling). Rotate offense to defense after several shots, using both sides.
