Basketball Rebounding Fundamentals
For Success

• Getting good position is the key to good rebounding.
• Players should anticipate where the missed shot will rebound to.
• The ball is more likely to rebound to the opposite side from where the shot was taken.
• When getting in position for the rebound it is important to make contact with your opponent by pivoting into them.
• When boxing out your opponent, keep a low base with the knees bent and hands up.
• When you’ve established a good box out position, go toward the basket for the rebound.
• After getting the rebound hold the ball at chest height with elbows out. This is called chinning the ball.
• The outlet pass should be made as quickly as possible after a defensive rebound.
• To make the outlet pass, players should first forward or reverse pivot to pass away from the opponent and toward their teammate.
• After getting an offensive rebound in close to the basket, players should go up strong for a shot or lay-up.
• After getting an offensive rebound further away from the basket, players can shoot if they’re open, pass to an open teammate, or re-set the offense.
• When your opponent shoots the ball, watch how they follow their shot. They are often the best judge of where the rebound will go.
• After boxing out the shooter, try to beat them to that spot.
• Boxing out your opponent may result in you or a teammate rebounding the basketball. It is important to box out as a team.
• You should box out with the desire to stop your opponent from getting the ball.
