Take a look at this submission from Edgar. A great example of a [tag]basketball[/tag] [tag]practice[/tag] [tag]drill[/tag] that leads to [tag]better basketball shooting[/tag]!
From Edgar…
This one is called “Team Box Rebounding Drill”
Form two teams with your players.
A.Place one player on [tag]offense[/tag] from one team (RED) in each of four spots on the court:
1) right block
2) left block
3) right elbow
4) left elbow
B. Place one player on [tag]defense[/tag] from the other team (BLUE) in each of the same four spots on the court, but they are placed in a defensive position ( between basket and man) right next to or in front of“ the player from the red team:
1) right block
2) left block
3) right elbow
4) left elbow
C. Place [tag]shooter[/tag] in three spots, right wing, left wing and freethrow line (or top of key). The shooters can be players, coaches, parents or a combination of these.
D. When the [tag]coach[/tag] states “move” the players on the blocks and elbows begin to rotate in a counter clock wise movement…(the red & blue players on the right block move to the left block, the players on the left block move to the left elbow, the players on the left elbow move to the right elbow, the players on the right elbow move to the right“ block)…and continue to move in this counterclock wise motion as they watch for the ball to be shot. During this counterclockwise motion, the players on the red defensive team maintain their defensive position (between the red offensive man and the basket)
E. When one of the shooters take a squared up shot (can also work on [tag]shooting form[/tag] during this drill) the blue defensive players call out “SHOT”, and begin [tag]boxing out[/tag] in preparation“ for the [tag]rebound[/tag]. If an offensive players get the rebound, he ball fakes and puts up another shot, if the defensive player get the rebound, he will outlet the ball to one of the shooters and the counterclockwise motion begins again until another shot is taken.
Can switch the red and blue teams from offense to defense after 10 shots.
The shooters count the rebounds for the blue team and the red team. The team with the least amount“ of rebounds has to either run laps, suicides, of do push up (strength & conditioning)
