Basketball drill: dribble pass and lay-up
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
