Rebounding for youth players
Hi, I'm on the basketball team at my school and I want to know some tips on how to get better at reverse layups. If any coaches or players know a thing or two, please let me know!

Hi Safwaan,
The Mikan Drill is a great a drill to work on your layups and finishing around the basket for all players, especially centres and forwards. It helps develop coordination, rhythm, and feel around the basket.
Hope this helps.
