Auburn Rebounding Drill
Emphasize both offensive and defensive rebounding with Coach Schaefer’s 3v3 drill called “Auburn.”
On the pass from the coach, the player on the elbow sets a screen for the shooter. The player on the wing always shoots on the catch. Play is live on the catch. An offensive rebound is worth 2 points. A defensive rebound is worth 1 point. A 3PM is worth 3 points, and a 2PM is worth 2 points. There are no out of bounds. The rep ends when the defense secures the basketball.
Here’s video of this drill from Championship Productions…
