Coaching Objective

Skill Level: Advanced, Skill Development: Rebounding, Fake, Shooting & Footwork. This drill will help you improve your offensive rebound, shot fake and finishing around the basket.  Suitable for all players! The fake helps you become unpredictable to the defender, to try to shift your defender to a position which helps create more space for you to shoot. The drill will help develop your offensive rebounding, fakes, footwork, timing, coordination, rhythm, and comfort from scoring around the hoop.  Master this drill by continuing to improve how many baskets you can rebound, fake and score within a set time limit.

Drill Instruction

  1. Start with the ball left of the basket around 1 meter from the backboard.
  2. Throw the ball up, bouncing it off the back board then jump high and secure the ball with both hands.
  3. Land with the ball on both feet and bring the ball down slightly then put up a quick fake shot.

Coaching Messages

  1. Fake shot like you mean it!
  2. After the fake shot, make the shot quickly as soon as you are balanced on 2 feet. We want to shoot quickly to beat the defender.
  3. CHALLENGE YOURSELF: When shooting, jump as high as possible. Hit the bottom of the backboard if you can.
  4. Rebound the ball with strong hands holding the ball tight.
  5. On rebound jump as high as you can and catch the ball at its highest point.
  6. Fake your Opponents, Score from your Offensive Rebounds and…Be Awesome!
