Coaching Kids Basketball – Boxing Out & Follow Through

I received this suggestion on coaching kids basketball from Corey in San Antonio.

This basketball drill is designed to develop boxing out, rebounding and focus on following thru with your shot regardless of any contact or intentional fouls.

3 kids in the paint, boys or girls.

The object is to score 3-5 points, depending on the basketball coach.  The ball is shot by the coach and the first person to grab rebound should attempt to put it back up and try to score.  The other 2 players are to play defense and prevent the person with the basketball from scoring.  No fouls are called, but don’t let it get out of control.  You can’t leave the paint and attempt a jump shot, all points counted for are from within the paint.  The person that reaches 3-5 points first is the winner.

This drill is designed for anyone that will attempt a lay-up anytime in their life.  Good luck!
