This drill is good for conditioning and it also helps your kids take shots from games spots at game tempo. In many of our games we miss easy lay-ups. This frustrates me as a coach so we use this drill to stress the importance of doing things at game speed.
Place 6 players at each baseline under the goal. Place two passers or outlets at the top of the key. Each line has 2 basketballs and each player must make an outlet pass to the passer which, returns the ball right back. The player must then go full speed taking only 3 dribble reaching the basket making the lay-up. Players must stay close to the sideline and pick a suitable angle for the lay-up. Players must stay close to the sideline and pick a suitable angle for the lay-up.
Place 2 minutes on the clock and require them to make 75 or 80 as a team. The next player in line must be in position to rebound the shot. If the team fails we start over. We also rotate right hand and left hand.
