How To Play Basketball: Rebounding Tip Drill

Learn to perform the rebounding tip drill to become a faster rebounder.

The next drill that we will take you through is a tip drill. We will show it to you both for offense and defense. What Abbey will do is he will through the ball up high on the glass because he will be battling an imaginary defender. Remember you have to practice alone and he will not be able to get complete control of the ball because he is against a taller opponent. He will tip the ball away from the defender or the offensive player whichever it might be. He will gather the rebound and pivot for an outside outlet pass. So we will do the defense of one first. Go ahead and get it Abbey. Tip it to the side. Get up high on the glass. Get up. Fifth repetition, good! We like to work in five repetition intervals so that you work hard. You get a little fatigued. You take a quick breather and then you go back and you do another set. You can rest on taking a couple of free throws if you want so you practice shooting free throws when you are fatigued as well.
