Standing Layup Two line drill â Involves two lines of players standing to each side of the basket. One line takes a standing layup and the other collects/rebounds the ball after the shot is taken and the players swap lines. After each player has had a few shots the shooting line is changed to the rebounding side to let players attempt it with their other hand.
At the peak of your jump release the ball towards the corner of the backboard square Keep arm extended when performing the Layup

Four players standing still make every ball handler's job harder. Teach V-cuts, L-cuts and back cuts so your team gets open and punishes defenders who overplay.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
