Coach throws the ball off the backboard (deliberate misses). Players queue up under the basket; each takes a turn jumping and tipping the ball back in. No dribble, no catch — tip it home in one motion.
Builds rebounding instincts and finishing power.
Time the jump — go up as the ball comes down.
Reach with your strongest hand.
Use the backboard — tip it back to the glass.
Land and reset — next player is coming.
No waiting around — quick, athletic plays.
Add a defender (lighter contact). Switch hands — left-hand tips only. Coach varies the miss spot (left, right, short, long). Players call out 'mine!' before they jump.
