Circle Layups

An early progression for the one-foot power layup finish, done first without a ball: players jog in a circle, planting the inside foot and driving the opposite knee and elbow up explosively, before adding a dribble and finishing the shot to themselves. Isolates the footwork and jumping mechanics of a layup without the frustration of missed shots getting in the way.

This drill comes from BreakthroughBBall.
