Rebound Tip Out Shot Fake Attack Basketball Drill

When you offensive rebound, you will not always be able to simply grab the basketball with both hands. That means that you can either try to slap the basketball out to another teammate or tip it out to yourself so that you can grab the basketball with both hands.

For this basketball drill, you will practice tipping the basketball out to yourself and then attacking before the defense can get set. Using this move can be a great way to score if you have mastered it. The key is really being able to sell the shot fake and then finish with contact around the basket. Even with a good shot fake, the defender will most likely still recover, and you will have to finish with contact. Basketball rebounding drills like this will train you to be aggressive on the offensive boards and how to finish when you do get the board.
