Rebound-Outlet-Break Drill

See the diagrams. O2 throws the ball off the glass, rebounds and outlets to O1. O2 then fills the lane, and will shoot the layup at the opposite end. After making the lay-up on the opposite end, O2 sprints to the outlet spot on the wing for the trip back.

On the first trip, O1 cuts to the ball for the outlet pass, dribbles to the elbow, jump stops, and bounce-passes to O2. O1 then rebounds and makes the outlet pass to O2. On the return, O1 fills the lane, and gets the pass from O2 for the lay-up.

Pepper-Runner Drill

See the diagrams. There are three lines, three lanes in this drill. O1 and O2 sprint up the floor, passing back and fourth (four passes). O1 and O2 should sprint, not shuffle, up the floor. O3 is the runner on the opposite side, and gets bounce-pass for the layup. The pass should always come from the top (not the opposite side) and should be a bounce-pass.

After the lay-up O2 and O3 cross underneath the basket to the opposite sides. Now O1 and O3 pass back and forth on the return trip up the court. O2 is the runner and gets the pass for the lay-up. Passers should yell the receiver's name, and everyone yells "shot".
