Rebounding

Rebounding Drill Progression

Four drills that stack. Each adds one concept and keeps the rule from the drill before it. Scrub to the moment of contact and hold it there — that half-second is the whole thing.

Why rebounding matters

We win the games we rebound.

Our defensive rebounding — in wins 75.8%

Our defensive rebounding — in losses 65.3%

The difference 10.5pts

Ten more rebounds out of every hundred misses. That is the gap between the nights we won and the nights we did not.

And we are already moving. Defensive rebounding went from 68% two seasons ago to 72% last season, on box-outs alone. The four drills below are how we take the next step. 2025-26 season, 30 games.
