Two Lines, Two Balls

This is a fast-paced lay-up drill. Each line has a ball. In the left line, the ball is held by the second player (#2), not the first player (#1).

#1 starts the drill by running out to the freethrow line elbow and coming to a jump stop and a screening position. He then executes either a reverse pivot or a front pivot (your choice) and attacks the basket looking for a pass from #6 and the lay-up. This action simulates setting a screen and then popping to the basketball for a shot.

After #1 shoots the layup he passes the ball to the next person in line (#7) and then runs to the back of that line. #6 quickly runs out as #1 is shooting the lay-up and executes the same jump stop screen action on the other freethrow line elbow. He then rolls back (off the front pivot or reverse pivot) to the ball and receives a pass from #2 for the lay-up.

#6 then passes to the next person in line (#3) and then runs to the back of the line he passed to. #2 now breaks out and executes the same action to receive the pass from #7 for the lay-up.

Great drill because of all the things you are working on: Passing, jump stops, pivoting, left and right hand lay-ups.
