Execution

  1. When the player catches it going in for a lay-up, the other two players are going to pass and get as wide as they can.
  2. The player who shoots the lay-up is going to get his own rebound.
  3. The first closest player will be over to the left, and he’s going to step and come in for the two-foot power lay-up.
  4. The player who passed it to him is now going to run out to the corner. He’s going to wait for an outlet pass a little later in this drill. He’s going to shoot his lay-up.
  5. The third player comes in and he’s going to shoot a lay-up and get his own rebound.
  6. Here’s where you make the outlet pass and throw it to the next player in line.
  7. We already have a ball so the next group will start right away.
