REBOUNDING
REBOUNDING
A rebound in basketball is the result of a missed shot
attempt by the offensive team in which a player attempting a
shot at the basket has hit the rim, backboard, or a
combination of the two. The basketball travels away from the
basket to one of the teams on offense or defensive jockey for
position to recover the basketball in order to gain possession
of the basketball to try and attempt to score
 TYPES OF
REBOUNDING
01 Defensive Rebounds
- Defensive rebounds are a result of a
miss by the opposing team, generally,
the defending team has the best
position to grab the rebound as they
are in between their man or check and
the basket. The offense usually has to
juke and jokey for position around the
defender in order to get the rebound or
get a lucky bounce off the rim in which
it rebounds over the defender.
02 Offensive Rebounds
- Offensive rebounds happen when
the offensive player rebounds a missed
shot attempt from themselves missing
a shot or their teammate. Offensive
rebounds are much harder to get as a
basketball player and require a lot of
skill and anticipation. Offensive
rebounds happen more often by the
player who attempted the shot near the
basket, rebounding their own miss.

Yell "shot" to make your teammates aware that a
01 shot has been taken.

Locate your man. You can't block out without

02 locating the person you are going to block out. If
you leave an offensive player unattended, he can
easily slip in to grab the rebound and score an easy
bucket.
NOTE: Steps 1 & 2 should be done simultaneously.

Get your hips low, make a wide base (preferably
03 wider than your opponents), and make contact.
Stick out your forearm to make contact with the
opposing player

04 Do a reverse (back) pivot into the player if needed.

Push the opposing player away from the basket

05 using your butt and legs.

REBOUNDING
Have your arms straight out to your sides which
06 will make it harder to get around you. You can also
feel where the player is going.

07 Shuffle feet to stay in front of the player.

After you secure a rebound, you should...

"Chin the ball" which means to put the ball
01 underneath your chin with your elbows out. This
makes it harder for the defense to steal the ball
from you after you secure the rebound.

Pivot away from the basket to the sideline to throw

02 an outlet pass to a streaking player or a guard
located near the sidelines.
MECHANICS IN
REBOUNDING
 Defensive Rebounds
In Basketball
As soon as the shot goes up, you want to turn and find your man. You will
put your forearm on him/her about chest level, and then you will turn and put
your butt/hip on them to box out. If you don’t first put your forearm on them,
they will sidestep your box out. When you box out, you want to keep your
hands up. This will make you wider and harder to get around. It will also keep
you from wrapping your arms around the offensive player, which is a foul.

After you box out, you need to be ready to release and get the rebound.
Don’t wait for the basketball to fall into your lap, but jump up and get it. If you
wait for the basketball to come to you, then someone else on the other team
might get to it before you do for an offensive rebound. Locate the basketball off
of the rim and then react to the rebound as quickly as you can.
Offensive Rebounds
in Basket ball
Most of the time, as the offensive rebounder in
basketball, you aren’t going to have the best position
because the defender is naturally going to be between you
and the basket already. That means that you need to use
different moves to get by them when they go to box you
out. Here are three different offensive rebounding
basketball moves that you can use to get the offensive
board.
SWIM MOVE
The reason it is called the swim move is because you are making a downward
swimming motion with your arm to get past the person boxing out. You will
fake one way and then go the opposite, and as you do, you will bring your
inside arm down and help propel yourself past the box out man.
SPIN MOVE
This is similar to the swim move, but instead of bringing your inside arm
down, you will fake one way and then spin off the box out and go the
other way to get the rebound.

DRIVE UNDER
Sometimes, the person boxing out won’t do a good enough job coming to
you to box out, and that puts them right next to the basket. When this
happens, you want to use your body to help drive them under the basket so
that they don’t have a good rebounding angle, and the ball will come out
over their head to you. Make sure that you use your body and not your
hands to drive them under because that is a foul.
