This drill focuses on 3pt shots and contested layups
This drill will have two ballhandlers going at once. After a contested layup, the ballhandler will cut to the corner to shoot one 3pt shot, rotate to the top of the key right after they shoot, catch the ball up top, and shoot another 3pt shot. After they finish, they scoot up to the elbow and wait to try to grab a rebound for the next ballhandler. The defensive player will armbar the ballhandler while they go for a layup, grab the ball out of the net, make a great pass on-time to the ballhandler in the corner, then box out the defender on the opposite side of the key (who will try to box them in). In the rebounding competition, whoever rebounds the first ball will immediately kick the ball out to the top of the key so the ballhandler can shoot another 3pt shot. Whoever rebounds the second ball, will immediately pass the ball to the next player in line and sprint to the opposite side of the court and get in the layup line. Skills practiced in this drill include: Contested layups 3pt shots Rotating to top after a 3pt shot Moving without the ball and catching to shoot in rhythm Triple Threat position Defensive Armbar Boxing In Boxing Out Rebounding and Kicking Out Immediately Grabbing the ball out of the net Competitive Rebounding
