10-Minute Layup Drills

Goal: finish at the rim from both sides with proper footwork.

The basic rule

• Right side = right hand, jump off left foot
• Left side = left hand, jump off right foot

1) Walking layups (3 min)

• Start under the basket. Walk through the footwork: step-step-jump-lay it in. 5 reps each side.

2) Dribble layups (4 min)

• Start at the 3-point line. Dribble in, gather, two steps, lay it in. 5 reps each side.

3) Speed layups (3 min)

• Full speed from half court (or end of driveway). Focus on controlling the gather. 4 reps each side.
