PRACTICE DRILL - CHASE LAYUPS

 As a coach, it is frustrating when your player has an open breakaway layup, and misses. I tried to rectify this scenario by instituting a drill called, "Chase Layups." When this drill is done with speed, it will give the offensive player the opportunity to convert a layup when pressured by a defender. Watch how this drill is incorporated into a practice session, allowing all players to participate.

Check out my practice drill called, "READ THE DEFENDER," to understand how to process these thoughts in real time.
