PRINCIPLES OF REBOUNDING

Things to assume:
Offensively assume that every shot is a miss. Send 4 to boards.
Defensively assume every opponent is a terrible shooter. Send all 5 players to make physical contact.

Chin the Ball:
1. Fingers spread wide and straight up when holding the ball.
2. Elbows are held straight out in both directions.
3. Try to squeeze the basketball.

Two-Hand Rebounding
1. Rebound with two feet with two hands.
2. Go Up With Both Hands Up: Both hands are up with elbows at least shoulder high
