  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, keeping the ball high, jump again quickly and shoot strong off both feet.
  4. Rebound the ball with both hands.
  5. Step out to the right side of the ring and repeat steps: 2, 3 & 4.
  6. Repeat on the left and right sides until completed 10 -12 shots each side.

Coaching Messages

  1. On rebound, make the shot quickly as soon as you are balanced on 2 feet. You need to shoot quickly to beat the defender.
  2. CHALLENGE YOURSELF: When shooting, jump as high as possible. Hit the bottom of the backboard if you can.
  3. Rebound the ball with strong hands holding the ball tight.
  4. Keep the ball high. Bringing the ball low will enable the ball to be stripped away from you by your opponent.
  5. On rebound jump as high as you can and catch the ball at its highest point.
  6. Score from your Offensive Rebounds and…Be Awesome!
