Type: Passing/Receiving, power lay-ups

Description:

Players line up as shown in diagram.

Two players (3 & 4) are a step

off each low free-throw lane position,

two players (2 & 5) are a step off each elbow.

The remaining players line up behind the baseline,

the first person in line with a ball.

Player 1 passes to player 2 and follows her/his pass (taking 2's position).

Player 2 passes to player 3 and follows her/his pass.

Player 3 passes to player 4 and follows her/his pass.

Player 4 passes to player 5 and follows her/his pass.

Player 5 drives hard to the basket for a power lay-up, only one dribble (two for beginners) allowed.

Players rebound own shots and hand-off ball to next player in line, then move to the end of the line.

Drill continues in same manner.

Variations:

1. Use two balls at once.  Enter second ball just after first ball is passed from 

    position 3 to position 4.

2. Reverse the direction (for left-hand power lay-ups).

3. Specify the type of pass to be made (e.g. chest, bounce, overhead).

4. Vary type of lay-up (e.g. reverse, two-foot stop into power lay-up etc.).

5. Take short jump-shot off dribble rather than lay-up.

Points of Emphasis:

1. All passes to be hard and accurate.

2. Catcher calls “Ball” and shows hand target to receive the ball.

3. Step forward to make, and receive the pass.

4. Hard drives to the basket with correct power lay-up form.
