The Hybrid Drill (2-on-0 to 1-on-1) – Rebound and Challenge starts with two teammates executing a cooperative action (such as pass + finish), then immediately transitions into a live 1-on-1 battle off the rebound.
The shooter’s partner retrieves the rebound and becomes the defender, creating a natural and competitive transition from collaboration to opposition. This drill develops finishing focus, rebounding effort, and reactive 1-on-1 instincts.
Objectives
- Automate shooting mechanics.
