Points of Emphasis

Continually tell your players to...

  • When blocking out, make sure player 1 takes his left foot and steps across his body to put it on the outside of player 2's foot. (Outside of Player 2's left foot)
  • Then player 1, does a drop-step with his right foot to maintain to create full contact while blocking out. (Player 1's right foot should be outside of Player 2's right foot)
  • Make sure the player stays low and wide. Player 1's feet should be wider apart than Player 2. He should stick both his elbows straight out (BUT DO NOT SWING ELBOWS). The arms stood stay in a stationary position.
  • Player 1 needs to slide his feet to maintain contact with Player 2.
Motivation / Teaching Tips

Tip #1 - If the defensive player does not keep the player away from the ball for 3 seconds, have the defensive player either do push-ups, sit-ups, or run.

Tip #2 - While doing this drill make sure that offensive player DOES NOT DIVE!!!!!! In my first year of coaching, I had a player lose his two front teeth diving after the ball. Players also landed on each other's heads, legs, arms, etc. That's how broken arms, fingers, and legs occur.


Basketball Rebounding Drill #2 - Two Man Boxout
