Organization
All Scholars will be in 5 lines of 5 or 6 depending upon how many is in class
Poly spots will be placed on how far they will be going (free throw line or other end of the classroom)
Description:
The first scholar in each line will perform the layup skip drill
They step with their right foot, left foot and jump off left foot with their right arm and knee up
Land on both feet
They will do this until they are at the free throw line or the other end of the classroom.
Those first scholars will sit at the end they finished the drill and the next group of scholars will go
The drill will keep on repeating back & forth
Coaching Points
Coaches should remind scholars that it is not a race. Coaches should be also monitoring/correcting footwork.
Progression
Overtime. scholars should automatically know the correct foot positioning and able to make lay ups with these mechanics.
Talent wins games, but chemistry wins championships. Building a positive team culture, establishing shared values, and developing trust creates teams that exceed the sum of their parts.
Getting to the rim is only half the battle. Converting against shot blockers and help defenders requires a toolkit of creative finishes. The best scorers have multiple ways to score at the basket.
Traditional positions are becoming obsolete. Modern basketball rewards versatile players who can handle, pass, shoot, and defend across multiple positions. Developing these skills creates valuable, adaptable players.
