Basketball - Quick Lay Up Drill

Purpose:

Great drill for working on lay ups for beginners.

Procedure:

Place a ball on each lower block of the free throw line. Place one player outside of each ball. Place a player in the middle of the lane three feet behind the balls. On go the player in the middle of the lane goes to the ball on the right hand side of the basket, picks it up and makes a lay up, then immediately goes to the ball on the left hand side of the basket, picks it up and makes a lay up. The players on each side of the basket get the rebound and place the ball back on the block so that the player in the middle can continue working from side to side making lay ups. See who many lay ups each player can make in a minute.
