Lesson Summary
You will learn to defend a rebound net to prevent the ball from hitting the ground after a shot.
Key Notes

- Feel: rebounding hard shots from the opposition is challenging and requires self-discipline when mistakes are made.
- Connect: maximising offensive and defensive efficiency comes from working as a cohesive unit within your team.

3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: positioning yourself at an equal angle on the opposite side of the rebound frame increases catching frequency. Think: the trajectory of a rebound can be anticipated from the angle of the shot.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'change of possession'
possession changes occur when the ball is dropped, goes out of bounds or after a point is scored.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils think a defensive player must catch the ball outright on initial contact from a shot. Correction: It is sometimes more effective to bump a rebound up in the air for a teammate to catch, but it does then count as a pass. Whereas if you catch it cleanly or catch your own rebound, it doesn't use up one of your passes.
