A rebound is the act of successfully gaining possession of the basketball after a missed field goal or free throw. For instance, a player shoots the ball anticipating a basket. However, the ball bounces around the rim, subsequently bouncing off. Whatever player ends up with the ball, has successfully "rebounded" the ball.

A rebound in basketball is the act of successfully gaining possession of the basketball after a missed field goal or free throw. Rebounds in basketball are a major part in the game, as most possessions end after a missed shot.
Rebounds are divided into two main categories: offensive rebounds, in which the ball is recovered by the offensive side and does not change possession, and defensive rebounds, in which the defending team gains possession of the loose ball.
Rebounds are credited to the first player that gains clear possession of the ball, or to a player that successfully deflects the ball into the basket for a score. Because fighting for a rebound can be very physical, rebounding is often regarded as grunt work.

When a shooter misses a shot, the team that retrieves the ball has recovered a rebound. When a member of the offensive team recovers the rebound, the offensive team regains possession and the shot clock starts over. When the defensive team recovers the rebound, it then plays offense. Strength, natural instinct, and good positioning and timing are important to good rebounding.

When a person shoots the ball at the ring, and misses, it is the duty of another player(s) from the same team to try and grab the ball, before the other team players get it. If the same team person grabs the ball in time, its called a rebound. This is done by tall and strong players.

Its when players go after a missed ball that another player shot at the rim. Whoever recovers the ball is credited with the rebound.

When a shot is taken and it doesnt go in the hoop. Grabbing the ball after the miss is a rebound.

Rebound balls are where the player from any team missing the shot and they(the person who got the rebound ) try to shoot it.You don't necessary have to catch it you just have to be the one to get it.

it's when somebody either on your team or the other, shoots the ball and misses, and then you are the first person to get touch the ball or grab it.
