====== 3-Line Lay-up Drill ====== This drill helps improve players’ passing, cutting, receiving and ability to make lay-ups. You can use it as a pre-game warm-up drill. ===== Drill ===== {{ :3-linelayupdrill.png?nolink |}} A few players line up at the top of the key, one player in the right corner, and the rest of the players line up at half-court near the right sideline. Use two balls as seen in the diagram. Player #1 passes to player #2 and makes a sharp basket-cut from the right wing. Player #2 passes the ball back to #1 who shoots a lay-up. After shooting, #1 goes to the top-of-the-key line. Player #2 rebounds and passes to player #4 in the corner. Player #2 follows the pass and goes to the corner. Player #4 passes to the next player in line, follows the pass, and goes to the end of half-court line. Run this drill for both right and left handed lay-ups. You can vary this drill by having the shooting line shoot jump shots, or reverse lay-ups. You can also make another variation: pass it into the high post, and have the high post player take a shot or make a step-hop move, while the original passing lane now gets the rebound and makes the outlet.
