2.05 REBOUNDING

(e) REBOUNDING FROM AWAY FROM THE POST

Various exercises in rebounding from away from the post

See the various examples.

A. In pairs per korf with one ball and place a cone five metres behind the post. The rebound player stands by the cone. Once the shooter has let go of the ball, the rebound player runs to the korf to collect. Change functions every ten shots. This is the basic exercise for rebounding in movement.

B. The cone is placed a little further away. Can the rebound players catch the ball before it hits the ground?

C. The cone is placed five metres to the left of the korf, otherwise as A.

D. As C, but now the cone is five metre s to the right of the korf.

Catching the ball is very important when rebounding in movement. Judgement of the trajectory of the ball is not easy, especially when it is in the same line as the path of the rebounder.

With a shortage of posts, the following arrangement is a good option. The players work in fours, two rebounders and two shooters, who take it in turns to shoot. In the first case, the rebounding is diagonal and in the second case the rebound is from the shooter on the same side as the rebounder.

E. Working in fours: two shooters, one rebounder and a defender by the rebound player. The defender follows the rebound player (does not look at the ball). The rebound player combines with the two shooters with the instruction to collect all of the shots in movement. Change tasks regularly.

F. As E, but now with two attackers and two defenders. The defenders follow the attackers, do not look at the ball and allow distance shots.

G. Once again two attackers and two defenders, but the defenders may also try to rebound. The attackers must take this into account: if the defender is closer to the korf than the attacker who wants to rebound, the rebounder should move away quickly to receive the ball with a shot now possible. The player who originally thought of shooting now runs quickly to the korf to take the rebound. The defenders allow the distance shot.

H. A game of two against two with no specific instructions.

I have had good experiences of playing games of two against two. The attackers are forced to pay attention to each other and the work of the defenders. With four against four the attacker can always choose a specific role (rebounder or main attacker, for example) while with two against two that is impossible. To practice the supporting functions, two against two is an excellent exercise.
