How to do the drill
- Without a ball, practise right–left–take-off for a right-hand layup.
- Add the ball, then one dribble; finish with the right hand.
- Mirror steps and hand on the left. Wait until the previous player clears the hoop.
Dosage and rest
2 × 4 attempts per side; walk back.
Common error and correction
Wrong take-off foot: return to walking without the ball.
Make it easier
One step and a close finish.
Next challenge
Receive a pass while moving before the layup.
Use a safe space and age-appropriate supervision. Stop if pain or dizziness occurs and tell an adult or coach.
