Lay-Up and Outlet Drill

This is a good drill to use for pre-game or the start of practice after stretching. This drill simulates several basketball fundamentals.

Instructions

3 lines; one located left side facing basket (like traditional 2 line layups), one located right side (like traditional 2 line layups) and a third line on the right side free throw line extended. Lines should be evenly filled with players.

Layup starts with right side player breaking to basket and receiving pass from player near side court on free throw line extended (outlet) and shooting lay-up. Player from left line will rebound. If shot is missed this player will rebound ball while it is in the air with both hands, pivot to outlet side and pass to the outlet who has hands in position to catch and is calling for the ‘ball’. If the lay-up is made the rebounder will step out-of-bounds and pass to the outlet with hands in position to catch the pass and calling for the ‘ball’.

The rotation is rebounder to outlet to shooter. After a prescribed number of repetitions change sides with outlet line moving to left side or just rotate lines to left side.

Tips

• Important to keep the outlet line wide to simulate a fast break.
