Cross court lay-ups/jumpers

Each player will throw a baseball pass, catch a baseball pass, shoot a lay-up (or jumper) and work on their speed dribble. If done correctly and with intensity conditioning will also take place.

Instructions

There are two lines at the baseline corners of one end. (Line A on the right and Line B on the left.)

Players A2, A3, A4, B1, B2 and B3 will all have a ball. Player A1 will sprint towards half court. Player B1, standing one step on the court, will throw a leading baseball pass to A1. A1 will catch the ball, start dribbling to the opposite end without traveling and will shoot a lay-up (or jump shot if coach wants that). A1 will get his/her own rebound and speed dribbles out of bounds to line B. At half court A1 will pass the ball to the next player in line B that needs a ball.

As soon as B1 passes to A1 he/she sprints towards half court and receives a pass from A2. B1 does the same thing A1 did.

As soon as a player passes the ball they sprint toward half court in order to receive their pass. This continues for either a set number of reps, a set time, or a set number of made baskets.

Variations

• You can change the type of pass and/or the type of shoot.
• I am sure their are several ways to improve this drill.

Tips

• Do not let the receiver knock the ball down into a dribble. Make them catch it.
• Do not let them travel before the throwing the pass or after receiving the pass.
• We have our girls call the name of the person they are passing to.
