1) 3 on 3 Rebounding Game

This is a drill to improve rebounding skills. It is a point game and is played to as many points as time or coaching for rebounding allows. As this is the least practised part of basketball, you should allow for at least 10 points until this game skill is improved and then you can drop to five points.

The game is played with the coaches shooting the ball and the defense and offensive contesting for the rebound.  Divide your team into groups of three. Mix up the positions to simulate those who may end up under the basket due to movement before the shot.

The defensive players take the position between the basket and the offensive team.

The points are awarded in the following manner:
Defensive team - one point for each rebound or foul committed against it.
Offensive team - one point for each rebound or foul committed against it and one additional point for each basket made upon recovery of the ball. If they miss the game carries on until one side rebounds and controls the ball or a foul is committed.

If the ball is moved out of bounds there is no point awarded as neither team rebounded the ball and the purpose of the game is to get the rebound.

Coaches keep track of the score and if you maintain the same teams week after week then a score sheet should be kept to track improvements and weaknesses.


Coaching Points:

1. It helps if there are two colors of jerseys as the substitutions can come quite frequently with lower total points required to win. When the game is won they are rotated to the back of the line and the next group takes place.

2. The Coaches should vary shoots and fakes to simulate for weak-side and strong-side defensive work.

3. Movement and Boxing Out should be stressed during the game.  The Coaches must be prepared to give assistance to each player during the action so that they can improve on the spot. Coaches should also encourage the recovery of loose balls as they count for a point when a team controls the ball before it goes out of bounds.

4. As this game can get exciting and sometimes rough, the Coaches must maintain control.  This is especially true for the Offensive team who will try to push through the Defensive team. When there is a foul it must be called.  Remember it is worth a point to the fouled team.

5. Coaches must make sure that all players especially young ones are clear about the rules and how to box, chin, and do proper rebounding before this game is played.  Do not start this game before the basics are learned and demonstrated by each player.

6. Lastly, BOX, BOX, BOX. Yell this a lot so as to keep it fresh in there minds.

1) Coach shoots, off and def. rebounders battle for the ball.
Get the ball make the score... both teams.

Out of bonds against first three defenders and beat second three defenders.

The opposite direction same drill.
Bad defense... stay defense, new offense on the court.

Keep your score.
A rebound is two points, scores are one.

1) Skills practiced: Blocking out
Players required: 8

Description:
4 offensive player line up outside the 3 point line and face the basket.  
The players should be at least 5 ft apart.  
They should line up from one end of the 3 point line and stretch to the other side of the line.  

The coach will pass the ball to one of the 4 offensive players.  The defense will react by sprinting half way to the offensive player,  they are guarding.  When they reach about half way to their player, they should slide step until they get a good close out on their player.
The offensive player who receives the ball only has the option to shoot.  
When the shot goes up, all defensive players must block out the offensive players.

2) Instructions: Step into the man

Tips:
A good closeout is the key to defending any offensive player.  
We as coaches must teach the proper fundamentals of the closeout.  
Today's athletes are better jumpers than ever before.  
We must be able to block the jumpers off the boards.

1) Skills practiced: locating opponents/rotating on defense

Players required:  8

Submitted by:  Seynaeve Wim

Description:
We line up 4 offensive players in a square just slightly outside the lane and place 3 defensive players in the lane.
The 4 offensive players may not drive but may shoot at any time.
The 3 defensive players must defend the player with the ball (but not block the shot) as well as two of the other offensive players.
They must deny hard if they are one pass away and play on the help line if two passes away.

2) All defenders must rotate (and communicate) to cover again after each pass (they can't steal passes) to be in position to defend and to rebound.
When a shot is taken all three defenders must box out (one offensive player is knowingly unaccounted for), rebound, outlet to one of his partners and attack a single defender at the opposite end of the court transitioning a rebound into a fast break.
The three offensive players then move to defense with the 4th player drifting back to play defense at the opposite end while the four former offensive players jump in to man the box formation.

3) Tips:
Don't let the offensive 'beat' the defensive team early in the teaching of the drill.
Have them execute passes and catches and prepare to shoot but still let the defensive players get to their adjusted spots after each pass.
Instruct offensive players to shoot within 3 or 4 passes (or less) to initiate more rebound opportunities.

4) Variations:
We have just begun to use this same idea with the offense in a diamond shape alignment that gives us a post player to defend at all times and it seems to be even more beneficial for our bigger, post players.

Also, we have tried both drills against 2 defenders at the far end of the court to simulate a 3 on 2 fast break opportunity.

1) This drill teaches to finish plays after a foul, toughness, playing with contact and conditioning.

3 players inside the paint.
A coach shoots the ball to start the drill.  

Rules:

1) Needed:
10 or more players and two balls.

How to run it:
Players set up as per diagram.
Defensive players 1 and 2 contest rebounds.
Players 1 through 8 run initial offense and or Break.

Players 5 and 6 shoot ball from top of the key, players 1 and 4 make the defensive rebound.

Defensive players 1 and 2 attempt to take the offensive board and delay the outlet pass.

2) After taking the outlet pass players 1 and 4 look to make a strong outlet pass on the ballside, should the defensive players prevent this then encourage the players to rip the ball through strong and or escape dribble to outlet to the other wing.

When the outlet pass is made the opposite wing should immediatley sprint towards the midcircle (in this case players 3 and 7).

Players 2 and 8 look to make a quick pass to players 3 and 7 in or around the mid circle.

3) Players 1 and 4 now move out to replace 3 and 7 on the wing, with defensive players 1 and 2 taking position to gather the defensive rebound.

Players 5 and 6 now move to a position to take the offensive rebound and delay the outlet.

Players 3 and 7 dribble to the top of the key, and take a jump shot drill repeats.

Emphasize:
Encourage rebounders to catch and chin the ball whilst in the air, same time 1/4 turn towards the ball side wing checking over their shoulder.

4) Have them box out had before the ball has made contact with the ring or backboard.

Encourage an overhead pass, if they are unable to make the overhead pass then this means they are being closely guarded and need to either pivot and outlet to the other wing or make an escape dribble to make the pass.

Have the offensive rebounders contest the shot so that it brings realism into the drill.

Should the offensive rebounder make the rebound, encourage them to go up again directly for the put back, the defensive play can then inbound from the baseline.

Have the players on the wing read the situation and move when the ball moves not before.

1) This Drill teaches Focus, Concentration, Attacking a Rebound, Agility and Conditioning.

Coaches set up just outside the paint and on the free throw line.  Ball starts at FT line.  The coaches pass the ball in a triangle as the player runs from coach to coach to touch the ball.  When the ball gets to the 3rd coach he throws it off the backboard to the opposite coach as the player rebounds landing outside the lane.  The player then reverses the ball and the drill continues until it gets back to the 3rd coach again.  I usually run this drill 7-10 complete cycles then draw in a new player from the line.  If you have enough assistants you can break up at different baskets..

2) The drill starts with the girls walking their circles a coach then shoots the ball and it must be rebounded, if the offense gets the rebound the defense does 5 push ups if they get the rebound and score the defense does 10 push-ups we stay at that end until def gets a rebound.

3) If defense rebounds it they run our fast break or secondary set down to the other end, I usually allow them to run through until they get into one of set offenses then stop them and circle them up again in according to whose offensive end it is.

Then go through the same thing again.  

It's a really simple drill that makes the girls find a body instead of just going to a spot to rebound
