A layup in basketball is one of the easiest techniques to get wrong, so here are some lay up tips to help your young player to become a strong finisher at the rim. Time each player which will force them to work on their quickness, footwork, speed, and finishing at the rim. Slap the ball as you are going up for the layup and jump off the right foot (left foot = right hand layup and right foot = left hand layup) Keep your head up after making each layup Sprint as hard as you can through the layup drill If you miss a layup, focus on making the next one, don't get down on yourself because you can do the drill again This layup drill would be the start of your basketball workout, so you have to keep a positive attitude throughout the entire workout Work on your fundamentals when performing this drill even during the pressure of doing it against time My fastest and most skilled 5th grader was able to complete this lay up drill in 21 seconds. When you beat that time, continue to try to improve on your skill.

8 Ways to Reduce Turnovers in Basketball
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] How to Reduce Turnovers in Basketball Written By Lamar Hull @ Google+[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_single_image image="9480" img_size="630x354" alignment="center"][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text]If you follow basketball, you've probably noticed on ESPN, other sports shows, or your local newspaper, how turnovers can cost a team the game. When a sports Analyst discusses the stats that causes a team to lose, they often bring up turnovers and their assist to turnover ratio. In short, turnovers are bad and can cause your team to lose if you have too many of them. I'm focusing on turnovers for this week's article because I currently coach a 9th grade AAU team and we average 20+ turnovers a game! Yea, I know, that's a lot! While turnovers are a common problem for many players and teams, they can be thought of as simple mistakes. Here are 8 ways to help reduce turnovers in basketball. #1 Ball-Handling Turnovers As a fundamental skill, your players have to be able to handle the basketball, especially under pressure. If not, go back to the fundamentals and have your players work on their ball-handling and dribbling skills on a daily basis or even at practice. You definitely need a few guards that can handle the basketball. If the point guard is having problems with a quick defender, instruct the player to quickly pass to the off-guard and then get the pass back to set up the offense. Another option is to screen for the point guard or ball-handler to relieve the pressure. Another way to reduce turnovers is by not dribbling as much and making smart, quick and accurate passes, which is a great transition to my next point.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] #2 Passing Turnovers A lot of turnovers occur as a result of poor passing. If you are a coach, spend a lot of time with your players…
Tony Watson II Basketball Interview
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Presenting Tony Watson II from Pro Training Basketball Written By Tony Watson II & Lamar Hull @ Google+[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="9492" img_size="630x354" alignment="center"][vc_column_text] Like I mentioned in the last basketball interview, it is super important to build strong relationships with great people! I emailed Tony because he has a passion for basketball just like I do. We can relate on so many levels because we give everything we got to the game and to help others achieve their dreams. Tony has some special things going on @ Pro Training Basketball. I wanted to interview Tony because he has a story to tell to our youth to inspire them to reach for their dreams through hard work, persistence, effort, and dedication. Hopefully, this information is helpful to those who are serious about becoming a better basketball player. Tony, tell us about yourself... I am Tony Watson II, founder of Pro Training Basketball. I am also a professional basketball player, which I have been playing professionally for two years. My basketball career started at the age 4, where I played my first season at the YMCA in Jacksonville, Florida. Growing up playing at the YMCA and the PAL, I was able to develop strong fundamental skills that served as my platform for other skills I would later add to my game. After the sixth grade, my family and I moved South to Palm Beach, Florida where I felt my career take huge strides. As a youngster all the way through high school, I was fortunate enough to play for my father, Tony Watson who also played D1 Basketball. In high school, I played and started all four years as the point guard for the Palm Beach Gardens Gators.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]During my high school career, I was able to score over 2000 points while also leading…
