Rebound and re-offer

Shooters follow every shot, win the rebound, and either shoot again or pass out and re-offer close to the post.

Setup

  1. GS and GA in the circle with GK (gk) and GD (gd); WA on the circle edge with the balls.
  2. Shooters aim to miss off the side of the ring on every other shot.

How it runs

  1. WA feeds a shooter, who shoots; both shooters follow the shot in.
  2. Whoever wins the rebound shoots again if close and balanced.
  3. If the angle is poor, they pass out to WA and both shooters re-offer.
  4. Attack scores for a goal, defence for a rebound; rotate after 8 shots.

Coaching points

  • Move on the release: get round the defender's side, not through them.
  • Jump to take the ball at its highest point, two hands, then land balanced.
  • Close in and square to the post: shoot. Wide or off balance: pass out.
  • Re-offer straight away; don't stand and watch the pass.

Common mistakes

  • Waiting to see if the shot misses before moving.
  • Pushing the defender to get to the ball.
  • Forcing a second shot from a poor angle.

Say it: “Follow it, take it high, shoot or re-offer.”

Make it harder

  • Defenders can jump for every rebound.
  • Only 2 seconds to shoot after a rebound.

Make it easier

  • Defenders stand still and turn only.
  • Shots from close to the post.
