Get your players timing their jumps to perfection with this 5th session where we work on correct footwork to get your players shooting the lay-up from both sides of the basket
The lay-up is something that will take your players some time to learn the footwork and coordination required for a successful shot - it's for that reason that we go step-by-step in this session, giving your players simple instructions so that they can progress at their own pace.
In part two of this shooting skills session we then focus on the offensive rebound. Here we teach your players to practice timing their jumps to regain possession after a missed shot and score the follow-up, before finishing this session with a game where your players can put their newly learned skills to the test!
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
