Lay Up


Lay up gives rise to basketball scoring without halting a burst. Once you get up in the air, there are many ways to maneuver the ball provided you increase your vertical jump to certain level.  Yet, before you take off in the air, there are basically two ways to approach thebasketball hoop and lay the ball in.  Let's take a look at lay up in a nutshell.
Start by dribbling the basketball towards the right side of the basketball hoop with your right hand.

Then you have two options:
  1. 1a) As you approach the basket, you may carry the ball and take one and a half steps.
  2. 2a) Leap towards the basketball hoop with your left foot and bring your right knee up
Or Alternately, you can
  • 1b) Perform a power-hop towards the basket
  • 2b) Elevate towards the hoop with both feet
  1. Protect your position & the ball with your body
  2. Release the ball lightly on the backboard
