More than anything, to become a great rebounder you have to go for every rebound and really want to get the ball. Work harder than your opponent and you will grab boards.

Rebounding:
-Work hard for ball, work harder then opponent

-Armbar on chest, turn and pivot, butt out
-look at him, move feet, stay low ready to jump

-Get rid of ball quickly or dribble, pivot away from défense

80% of time ball go off opposite side of where it shot

This video moves nice and slow; explains and demonstrates the fundamentals simply. For those of you arguing that the ball will rebound away, remember that rebounding is a team effort. Doing your part to keep an opposing player from the rebound gives your team a better chance to get it and that is what matters.
