Rebounding

Rebounding the ball is considered the job of all players and especially the centers. Rebounding means actually catching the ball as it drops from the board. There are essential techniques for rebounding and they are:
1) anticipating the position of the ball
2) boxing out: putting your body in front of other players to prevent them from catching the ball.
3) anticipating the time to jump.
