Team Offense Layups - Backdoor
Purpose
Players learn to score off of a backdoor move.
Setup
Three lines spaced 15 to 18 feet apart. One line is at top of key, the other two lines are on the wings.
How It Works
- Player 2 makes a V-Cut to get open and Player 1 passes her the ball.
- Player 1 immediately makes a Give and Go cut, running through the left side of the lane (not receiving the ball) and coming out to the opposite wing.
- At the same time, Player 3 cuts to the top of the key to replace Player 1.
- Player 2 passes to Player 3.
- Player 1 makes a V-Cut, then immediately goes into a Backdoor Cut.
- Player 3 passes to Player 1 for the layup.
- All three players crash the boards for the rebound and continue shooting until the shot is made. Players then go to the back of a different line.
Coaching Tips
- Once players are comfortable running this drill, switch and run it to the opposite side with the first passing going from 1 to 3.
- When drill finishes with a left hand layup, the player should be shooting with their left hand.
- Watch the spacing during this drill, players may have a tendency to squeeze in together – lines should remain 15 to 18 feet apart.
