Basketball: Illonois Lay Ups

Players start in two lines: either at the half way line or behind the 3 point line.

For a right hand lay up:

The 1st two players in the right hand line start with basketballs. The first player dribbles to the basket and makes a lay up and leaves their shot and joins the back of the left hand queue.

The 1st person in the left hand queue moves to collect the rebound and passes to the next person without a ball in the right hand queue and joins the back of the right hand queue.

Move off the lane about 5 meters to face the sideline.

1. Toss the ball into the middle,
2. jab step and cut, catch, chin and do a lift fake,
3. drop step back to the original position,
4. bounce once, hop and shoot a fully extended jump shot off the board.

Players on the left start with a ball each. Going one player at a time they dribble out into the centre of the court where they meet the defender.

The defender should prevent them from moving across the court.

Before they get within arm's reach of the defender the attacking player should drive into the key where they have a shot.

Set up the same as the original lay up drill. Players in the right line pass to a player in the left line, they then receive the ball back to make a lay up. The left lane gets the lay up and passes to next player without ball in the right lane and joins the back of the right lane. The shooter leaves their shot and joins the back of the left lane. This can be done on the left of right hand sides
