RXTR Pro Coach · 6 Rebounders

Our six RXTR Pro Coach rebounders combine a rebound board with an integrated reaction light to make passing and first-touch practice more demanding. Players respond to visual cues, control the returning ball, and keep their feet moving as the drill changes.

  • Reaction training: Light-based cues add a decision-making challenge to technical practice.
  • Passing and receiving: Repeated returns help players work on accuracy, first touch, and ball control with both feet.
  • Built-in drills and scoring: Pre-programmed training and instant scoring help players measure their performance without a phone or app.
  • Multiple-board training: Connect compatible units for drills that encourage scanning, movement, and quick decisions.
