Speed Layups

Form two lines at the half court stripe, both facing the basket. Each has a ball. At the coaches signal, the first players in the respective lines dribble ‘race’ toward the same basket. Both attempt to make their layup, one on the left, the other on the right. Penalize the losing player with laps or pushups, and double penalize them if they don’t make their layup!

Variations

• Sometimes we give points to the players who win, and to those who make their layups(especially with their weak hand) and then give a reward to the top 3 on the team.

Tips

• Keep the lines fairly close together so the players don’t hit each other after the layups.
