Basketball drill: dribble pass and lay-up

• Guards + Forwards + Centers
• from U14 - 6 to 12 players
• 4 balls
• whole field
• 2 baskets

Objective:

• Pass on the flyer training and finishing at full speed
• Players 1 and 4 receive the ball at the outlet position and dribble directly to the centre circle.
• passer sprints along the sideline (flyer)
• receives the ball at full speed
• makes the lay up without a dribble

Teaching Points:

• dribbler is not allowed to cross the centre line
• the pass should be such that the flyer can finish without dribbling
• The flyer must ask for the ball with his hand
• execute at full speed
• communication: outlet calls
• after the lay up join the line near the basket where you scored
• the dribbler returns directly to the outlet after the pass and for the next ball

Variations:

• (to teach the attacker to finish at full speed under pressure)
• Have a defender walk up to the attacker during the layup to distract him visually (no physical contact).
• make the defender appear bigger with a mat or similar in his hands
