Reverse Reaction Quick Finish Basketball Rebounding Drill

 

A big part of rebounding the basketball effectively is reacting quickly once the shot goes up. If you can react quicker than anyone else, you will have an advantage. This basketball rebounding drill is great for practicing your reaction time and then also working on finishing quickly around the basket before the shot blocker has a chance to gather and get up off the ground to block the shot.

It doesn’t matter if you are a center or a point guard. This is a great basketball drill to work on because everyone should be boxing out and rebounding once the shot goes up.
