About This Play/Drill

This is a great drill we do often at the beginning of practice. It gets the players talking and moving early in the session. We have also incorporated this into our pre-game warm-up

  • Basketball Play - Olympic Layups
  • Basketball Play - Olympic Layups
  • Basketball Play - Olympic Layups
  • Players line up as shown.

    1 has a basketball. We will add a 2nd ball once the players get the hang of the drill.

    10 players are shown here.

    Extra players can fill in at any line but should fill line 1 first

  • 1 passes to 2 and begins to cut hard to the rim

    2 immediately passes to 3

    3 makes a short pass to 1 for the layup

  • This is where the rotation of the drill begins and players must pay attention and talk clearly.

     

    After making the pass to 3, 2 goes to rebound the layup by 1

    After passing to 1, 3 cuts hard across the floor and goes to the end of line 2

    After the layup, 1 goes to the back of line 3

    2 rebounds the ball and makes an outlet pass to 4. 2 sprints to the back of line 4.

    4 makes a pass to 5 and goes to back of line 5

    5 passes to one and goes to back of line 1.

    Drill then repeats itself
