Youth Basketball Drills | Finish Layup Drills | Power Finish Layup

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

[2020/7/21 Update: Bringing back and post from 2011 by coach Jim Ponchak. During the summer vacation we are all looking for youth basketball drills. Finish Layup Drills are always an important tool to teach the layups.]

Basketball drills for beginners and young players are a must-have for basketball coaches during the summertime. Coaches looking for drills to fill in their personal drill-book are seeking all over the internet to find the drills they will implement during the next year. Although it seems to be easy, teaching the layups with a set of layup drills is something that many coaches all over the world would highly appreciate.

Our basketball coaching website today will deal with drills for kinds and basketball drills for beginners. It is Coach Ponchak’s contribution to Men’s Basketball Hoopscoop. Coach Ponchak is an assistant at Ridgewood High School in Ridgewood, NJ.

Make sure that you check out an old article from our edition of Basketball Drills: Power Finish Layup. Coach Ponchak did a great job with this drill. It is a drill you can use with your young players, kids, beginners to empower their ability to score a layup.

Here’s the simple drill he sent to us:
