Skill:

Layup for right handed player

• Start from a 45 degree angle three metres away from hoop
• Dribble with right hand towards basket
• Jump off left foot
• Right hand and right knee extend towards target
• Use the top right hand corner of the backboard as target
• Shoot ball and extend arm towards target

Organization:
 

•  Students will work in groups of three at a basket
• They will start away from the basket and use passes to attack the basket
• Once a person gets into the layup position they will do a layup at the basket
• Change movement so each player gets a chance to do layup
• Other two players rebound and move quickly back and start again

• Teacher or students who understand technique could help individuals with their layup technique
• Students could work on layuup technique on their own and then rejoin group of three
