KU Full Court Shooting

Basketball Goal by Steve and Sara Emry on Flickr

This is a great warm-up drill that I picked up at a Kansas Univeristy practice. Players will run full court lay-ups and jump shots at the same time.

Instructions

You will need 4 lines and 5 balls. Lines in each of the four corners of the court with a ball in each. Start the drill by having one person take the ball under one of the buckets and the first person in each of the side lines step out.

The person in the middle will outlet to one side and the three will begin a fast break down the court. The middle man receives the pass back and will dribble to three point line on the other end.

There the opposite side man will cut in and receive the pass for a lay-up. The passer will cut behind his pass and receives a pass from the corner for a jumper, as will the original outlet man.

The person who makes the lay-up will then get his own rebound and outlet to one of the players who just passed to the jump shooters. And the drill continues from there.

Tips

This is a great drill for fast break lay-ups, and jumpers on the fly. We emphasize good outlets, proper lane width, good cuts to bucket, bounce passes and proper squaring and shooting on the run.
