Finishing Drill – Full Court Chase Down Layups

This drill will develop ball handling skills under pressure and improve finishing skills at full speed.

Keys to Success: Change the distance the chaser starts behind the ball handler based on each player’s speed to ensure the ball handler must sprint to get to the basket first. If possible, use four balls and start each turn when the player’s ahead reach half-court – this will minimize player inactivity if you have more than 8 players.

Elapsed Time: I’d recommend running the drill for 5 minutes with right-handed layups and 5 minutes with left-handed layups.
