Basketball Drill for Passing and Layups - 2 Min Drill

[@melvin4040]

Awesome drill. I coach my kids 3rd/4th grade (8-9 year olds) rec team and I was afraid this would be too hard for them but after 2 mins they picked up on it and they really impressed us. Love your videos and I have been incorporating them into our practices. THANK YOU

[@CoachAshworth]

Thank you for the comment! Glad the drills could help

Wow that's good to know. I coach a 4th grade team and thought this would be way too difficult. I'll have to give it a try

😁 For everyone wondering which line players should move to: Left Line: Moves to Middle line Middle Line: Moves to Right line Right Line: Moves to Left Line They basically move to the next line over. Until they rotate back to the left line. Hope this helps.

It’s just like figure 8 that’s not full court.

[@mikeebby5142]

Thank you!!! My eye just couldn't catch the rotation 😂😂😂😂

[@MrMG76]

But it is me or do the boys not follow that logic, because #2 at the start should move to the middle line but instead he joins the right line and # 5 also joins the right line. That's what was confusing me in the beginning also if you follow the video sometime you see 2-3 boys joining the middle line from all angles 😄

[@rockin323-c8z]

@@MrMG76 Yes they dont follow it so it's impossible to figure out- Good drill though!

[@isoextreme]

Rather than the normal 2 line layups i really like this drill . A lot of moving parts not to much standing around .

[@kray97]

Love the rythm and the flow of it....a great chemistry builder, and you improve your passing instincts.

[@TheTeamblack]

This is an awesome drill. My U12 team has been struggling with layups. This is a perfect to give them reps.

Love this drill gonna use it as our standard warmup

Yo this is your best drill hands down and since I do both in middle school, I think I'll make it 10 to 15 to start

[@CoachAshworth]

Thanks - hope the drill will help!

Good job Coach, it is competitive and challenging.

[@karlito1231]

Thanks for video !! Nice drill

[@strongopinionsweaklyheld2811]

great drill. thank you

[@oncetwice7097]

I’m so confused LOL Coach what’s the best way I can explain this drill to my team

[@knowledge013]

This is a good drill but what you should also have the kids focus on is making proper passes. Many of the passes are sloppy and they will make those same passes in games. It will be more effective to still do the drill but emphasis on all passes must be textbook and good passes for the other person to catch and do something with.

[@jhunreywaslo7637]

Hello coach, im planning to do drills for my 13 under and 16under, can you please recommend a basic for them? Thank you So much, love your drills, from Philippines

[@CoachAshworth]

Master the fundamentals. Shooting, dribbling, passing. Small games 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 help develop young players too

[@niksavitskii]

Nice team drill

[@onthesideline-coachprevost1116]

I love this drill alot! Alot of the movements that we find in games can be done in this drill. Great video!

[@CoachAshworth]

Thank you!

[@onthesideline-coachprevost1116]

​@@CoachAshworth I did this drill just today with my U14 and it was fun to watch them execute this drill. I made sure to work this drill on both sides of the court and I later substituted the layups for jumpshots. On a sidenote... what would be the best full court press in your opinion?

[@CoachAshworth]

@@onthesideline-coachprevost1116 Glad the drill could help! always adapt and use variations once they get used to it and continue to make it challenging. The "best" press is always going to depend on who your players are. A diamond 1-2-1-1 is always a good option to get early traps in the corners. But if you have length and athleticism, then a 2-2-1 can be effective as well.

[@JoeDays23]

@@onthesideline-coachprevost1116 - Watching this video just now and looking to have this as our pregame warmups but curious how you implemented a shot as it looks like the scoring line would be too close to the hoop by the time the pass came there way. Did you have them backup or just delay the shooter from cutting to the basket?

[@onthesideline-coachprevost1116]

@@JoeDays23 I just had them back up. At the youth level close shots matter quite a bit. I made sure to back things up where the kids were able to pull up for a jump shot just a few feet away from the basket.

Thanks coach for this drill🙏🏻

[@CoachAshworth]

[@dougp7934]

I can’t figure out which line they go to after each make and rebound!

[@lambertj.2892]

Hey coach, I see you carrying around a piece of paper that you reference frequently. Are all your drills listed on that paper? And if so, what do you name them so you remember what is what? For me at least, I need diagrams of the drills I'm running. My guess is, the paper you carry around just has names that reference drills. Is that how you know what to do for each practice?

[@whyze1311]

Thanks a lot coach.. please keep going .. great job

[@gregnice231]

Great drill coach, how do you determine which line you go to after a pass or layup?

[@CoachAshworth]

We usually just tell them to make sure everyone gets a layups. So you shouldn’t have the same guys going in the same lines. Usually the fill in naturally

[@frankieflint8558]

Simple answer to this simple question so ur person scoring the layup is on the right side than you have ur middle men and left so from the right ur passing to ur middle man ur person on the right side that started the warm up is going to pass to middle and go to the end of the right side line”scoring line”in this sequence you have middle passing to left which leaves middle man going to the end of left line after each pass which leaves you with your left man making the chest/bounce pass to ur 2nd man in the right line of this warm up drill your first person in left lane should end up at front of the right lane making the quick bounce pass to middle and following leader leaving your left starter behind ur right starter

[@savvasstavrou2709]

@@frankieflint8558 simple as that!

[@DavidRodriguez-py2jm]

What happens if they don't hit the target of 24 layups ? Do it again?

[@CoachAshworth]

We usually have them do one sprint for however many below 24 they got. So if they only made 22, they’d have 2 sprints.

Do you have your two minute layup drill on Fast Draw?

I don't right now, but I could work this week to make that and send over to you. Please leave your email

Really like your stuff here on KZbin it’s a valuable resource thanks again for growing the game coach!

@@davetuengel6657 thank you!

[@theotherview1716]

Isn’t this a travel? I’m trying to learn. I though you can only take one step-the pivot.

[@MauroMateos]

A lot of players not moving.. i dont know if i like this really xD

[@CoachAshworth]

You can always split into two groups at different baskets to get more movement and get the players more active. You can even have the two groups compete to see who finishes first.

[@MauroMateos]

Agreed

[@jimmer6146]

Honestly, not the best drill and would not use. Why? There is no intensity, after your pass or lay-up you have to wait to long time. If the aim is to teach lay-ups and passing, then there are much better drills.

[@TheTeamblack]

What is your favourite drill to teach passing and layups. I have 14 players and most struggle with layups. They don’t practice on their own so I need to use something effective. 🤔

[@ebonysans5551]

If your concern is having players wait around for their turn again, just split them up and run it down both ends of the court, or adjust it and put your own flare on it by adding an extra player. You’ll have players standing waiting for their turn regardless of the drill you’re doing

[@cantsitstill9797]

To much standing still, 1 ball for 15 players? ? ? Divide it up on two baskets

[@demensclay6419]

Coach: what is the correct line to go for each line to after the group of three guys are finished? I cannot figure this out as some of the guys go the the wrong line as far as I can see, which is confusing.

[@CoachAshworth]

We have them rotate on their own, we don’t necessarily dictate what line they have to go to, although we want every player to get a layup at some point in the drill.

[@demensclay6419]

@@CoachAshworth Thanks coach and although this makes sense, it is my experience that especially young kids and beginners tend to go to one line and that most of them follow the other to that specific line, so that suddenly alot of kids are in one line, while the other two lines are empty. I thought there was a specific order, hence my question. Thanks again.
