Rebound

Definition

‘Action is performed, after a shot failed, of jumping at the ball (which was rejected by the aro and/or the board) with the goal of regaining possession.’ (Cedric Arregui)

General principles of Rebound

The Rebound plays a decisive role in the games. When a team has a higher rebounding capacity is more likely to return to gain another possession:

• If it is a Rebound offensive, the team that captured the rebound will be able to return to play a new possession, according to the article 29 of the rules of FIBA (having the remaining time of the clock of possession, which I had prior to launch if it was taking more than 14 seconds , or reset the clock of possession to 14 seconds to exact in the case of having drawn when I was less than 14 seconds).
• If it is a Rebound defensive, the team that captured the rebound will have avoided that rivals renew the possession and no longer threaten with mark. In addition, it will invest the roles, becoming the new attackers after they have managed to capture the rebound in game and be in readiness for a new possession.

So, we have to consider the Bounce as a new opportunity for the team to improve/to counteract the score. The Bounce is like an extra life.
The Bounce we can go immediately to the Shooting because some players are able to perform a slap or even a mate if you see feasible that possibility. Even, it can perform a fly.
To make our players in the technical rationale of the Bounce, we need to instill the following gestures and values associated with the Rebound:

• Determination: it is Not a matter of height, but to be sufficiently tenacious to go to fight each bounce.
• Anticipation: much of the rebound is related to the time prior to the occurrence of a shot. There is that to be gaining the position before the launch to the basket.
• Hands-lists: it Is very common that some players do not have hand-prepared for having wrestled with hands and arms in the fight for the position, and finally, when will the ball to your site, do not have the hands ready to catch and control the ball. Essential that the hands and arms are placing and are best placed as possible.
• Feet claiming space: as in the basic position of game, you need to have a good base of support to achieve a better balance. Coincides with the loading phase. Sure the more the position if we are flexed, on balance and in addition will result in a power jump.
• Tolerance to the contacts: The fight for the Rebound means that you have contacts that are hard. There you go prepared knowing that it is habitual that are present.
• Reading trajectory of the shot and possible rebounds: While holding the position, you get to visualize the trajectory and guess where he will go after the decline.
• Tension collective: The Rebound is the responsibility of everyone, from players big and small because the bounces can stay within a short distance like that may also go to middle or long distance.

As nuance, to say that the Rebound is one of the few moments in which the ball does not belong to any team. it Could be said that at the time of the bounce, the two teams defend (the team that carried out the launch is defending in his field offensive (track front in terminology of arbitrators).

Phases of the Rebound

Then we can name the four phases of the jump in the bounce:

• The load phase: be flexed to keep the balance while closing the rebound also serves to be ready to take the momentum.
• The phase ballistic (the impulse): the player who makes the momentum of the arms and legs also help in the action. Fundamental to the core of harnessing the energy that connects both trains.
• Phase of flight: the player is suspended in the air. The duration varies depending on the physical condition of the player.
• The phase of landing: in which the player gets to make contact with the floor and is balanced.

Sometimes it extends the rebound because one of the two players that fight was not able to control it comfortably and had to palmearlo to leave it at an optimum height that allows it to pick it up after re-jump. Sometimes this action may occur several times in the capture of a rebound.

Exercises and games of initiation for the foundation of the rebound

Below, we will appoint the exercises more employees for the initiation of the Rebound.

• Closing bounce in circles: place 3 groups of 4. Each group in one of the 3 circles of the court (in the two closest to the baskets and in the central). In each group there are two couples. The couple’s advocate, dropped the ball in the circle (roll as little as possible). How much ball touches ground (or boot for the first or second time, according to the degree of speed that we want to apply to the exercise), the couple from outside (the attackers) has to overcome to couple a defender who stands between them and the ball. The couple’s advocate, you will have to lock you up step to the couple attacker for a specified amount of time (seconds or when the ball has stopped bouncing).
• You can also do an exercise 1×1 using inflatable balloons, ideal for playing outdoors, and more if it is a day with some wind. The defender throws the balloon in front of him and the attacker must get to capture it.

How to train the rebound technique

We can train the Rebound explicitly or to integrate it into the rest of the exercises. We will seek situations that can be applied to a situation in the game. Change the type of launch looking for trajectories varied, the location of the launch and the situation of players who are going to go for the Rebound.

• Rebounds in a short distance (launch from the free kick).
  • Exercises rebound static (players start shoulder to shoulder, in the semi-circle of no-load).
  • Exercises rebound dynamic (players start on opposite sides of the aisle of free kick).
• Rebounds in middle distance (launch from the spaces between the area and the line of 3 points)
  • Exercises rebound static (shoulder to shoulder).
  • Exercises of dynamic rebound (from opposite sides).
• Rebounds in long-distance shot from outside the triple)
  • Exercises rebound static (shoulder to shoulder).
  • Exercises of dynamic rebound.(from opposite sides).
• Finally, for a good progression, we would go by varying the location of the players participating in the exercise as your location, and there may be a player within the area and other that comes running from out of the triple).

Another way of working in volume, this foundation is starting the exercises automatically with a Rebound. The team that captures the rebound attack to the other half court to resolve the situation of the game. The other team must defend this situation.

Objectives in Teaching

1. Perceive or be aware of (in the case of defending face-to-face) that it has conducted a launch to the basket.
2. Maintain the position (if it is the defender) or win the position (if it is attacking) just before the completion of the launch.
3. Close the bounce (if it is the defender) or load the rebound (if it is attacking). Even if a player is far away, also has to work the rebound since some leave rejected with a lot of force.
4. Visualize the trajectory of the ball and guess its possible decline.
5. Sync direction and height of the jump with the trajectory of the ball, rejected.
6. Protect the ball after the catch the rebound.

Most common errors

1. Does not anticipate that is going to make a release, or when you are already doing or account.
2. Cede the position. Is not balanced.
3. He thinks that the ball is not going to go to their position and will not close the rebound.
4. You do not have experience in reading trajectories.
5. Jumps to the wrong time and lose the advantage he had.
6. When you catch the ball, it is stolen with ease because it does not protect you or grab you with security.

Rebounds unusual

On General Principles, it is assumed that a Rebound in defense serves to have a new possession, and to avoid that the attackers have a new chance of scoring and Rebounds in attack directly serve to make another shot. This is the usual thing.
However, there are also situations in which a bounce, it serves not to continue with the game.

When a team gets a rebound defensive and:

• being less than 8 seconds, is in no hurry to spend the half court.
• being less than 5 seconds, is in no hurry by dribbling or passing it on.

In usual in these cases, it is because the computer I picked up the rebound goes ahead on the scoreboard for the minimum (1-2-3) and do not risk to lose the ball and the opponent will equalize or win the game).

There is also the case in reverse. A team gets the Rebound attack and prefers to go back to a play a possession long leaving the shot to the last few seconds for the same reason, to be set in the marker.
Finally, there is the circumstance more uncommon. A pitcher of free throws that fails his last free throw with the purpose of preventing the opponent team request time out and may make a move in special situation and have a shot that could equal or decant the outcome of the match.

On other occasions, the player who throws the free throw fail it on purpose to grab his own rebound and score the basket which will give the result to your computer. What player does not have imagined a situation to go missing 1 or 2 points, to fail on the last free throw throwing it in such a way that you take your own bounce, pull 3 and win the match? Extraordinarily difficult, but not impossible.
Here is the proof:

Final considerations

The Rebound is a foundation that we must not neglect. Like other foundations, they have to be worked on every day for players to improve and develop their skills with respect to this section of the game. We have to get used to the players to work the Rebound. Some of the traits/values that are associated to this basis are anticipation and ambition (which are always defendants). We have to use tools that make our ‘philosophy of play’.

To finish the article, here are two videos. The first is a collection of the Rebounds more epic who have chosen the final outcome of a match and the second is about Dennis Rodman, one of the best reboteadores of all time (not to say the best).
