Layup Drills
Layup drills are essential basketball exercises designed to improve a player's ability to score close to the basket. These drills focus on footwork, body control, and shooting technique, allowing players to practice making layups from various angles and positions. Common variations include the right-hand layup, left-hand layup, and reverse layup.
In addition to individual practice, layup drills can be performed in small groups or as part of team training sessions. Coaches often incorporate these drills to enhance players' finishing skills and overall offensive effectiveness. Consistent practice helps build confidence and proficiency in scoring during games.
