[vimeo id=”81031931″]

Combine skills and practice technique for rebounding, dribbling, passing and jump shot

Setup

Players form two lines, one at free throw line and one on right wing beyond three-point line
First few players at free throw line have balls

Instructions

A coach throws ball off backboard to simulate a missed shot and first player from group at free throw line grabs rebound
Player 1 throws outlet pass to Player 2 on wing, who dribbles towards opposite basket down middle of court
Player 1 cuts behind Player 2 and runs up court on sideline
Player 2 gives Bounce Pass to Player 1, who attempts a jump shot
Repeat drill on left side of court, with outlet/dribbling line moving from right wing to left wing
Run drill continuously for allotted drill run time, switching sides halfway through

George’s Tips

Players need to attack the ball and rip it down while rebounding
Always turn and outlet ball towards sideline to avoid defense
Players need to dribble with their inside hand towards half court (right hand when getting outlet on the left side and left hand when receiving outlet on right side)
Passers must pass in front (not behind) their partner to properly lead shooter into their lay-up
