Shadow Rebounding Drill

Defender reads the crasher's direction on the shot call, steps across with the same-side foot and forearm to initiate contact, executes a quick turn into a wide box-out, and explodes up to high-point the rebound with two hands before chinning the ball.

Key points

  • Step across with the same-side foot and forearm to meet the offensive crasher and maintain visual contact
  • Quickly pivot into a low, wide box-out stance with hands held high
  • Explode up to snatch the ball at its highest point with two hands and chin it firmly to secure possession

Common mistakes

Stepping with the opposite foot and turning your back prematurely, which blinds the defender to the crasher's movement.
