The player should keep the ball high and protected (keep elbows out by chinning the basketball)
Another player or coach can be used in this superman basketball drill to throw the basketball off the backboard to other block to change the rebounders timing and anticipation
Another player or coach can stand on the other block, after the player throws the basketball off the backboard and then rebounds, the coach/player can use a pad or add resistance to help the player to rebound, keep their balance and score in traffic.
Try to rebound the basketball outside of the block, this will push you to go and get the rebound
Instruction:
Player stands on the block with a basketball
The player throws the basketball off the backboard to the opposite block
The player attacks the rebound on the opposite block
The player lands after the rebound, keeps the ball protected (elbows out), and then throws it off the backboard to grab the rebound on the other block
Reps: 3 x 5
On the 5th rebound, the player explodes up to the basket and scores the lay-up. This will help to increase your jumping ability. Instead of scoring a layup, dunk it!
