Rebounding

In basketball, rebounding is an essential skill that all players should learn. The definition of a rebound is "gaining clear possession of the ball after a missed field goal or free throw attempt."

Rebounds can be both offensive and defensive. Defensive rebounds are rebounds acquired by the defensive team after the offensive team misses a shot attempt. Offensive rebounds are rebounds acquired by offensive players after their teammates or they miss a shot.

Rebounding is both an individual and a team effort. Rebounding is best done when a team works together to get the rebounds and not just one individual player. Teams that rebound effectively have a significant advantage over their opponents that can't match them with similarly skilled players.

Although, Offensive and Defensive rebounding require two very different skills and techniques, they do have four things in common:

1. Assuming all shots will be missed

2. "Flight Time" effort

3. Anticipating rebound location

4. Determination & Aggressiveness

There are many different types of basketball screens that are being set throughout a game. Listed below are a dozen basketball screens all players should know and understand:
