Setup
Five chairs are spread around the three-point line and the shooter starts under the basket with a passer ready to feed every catch.
How it runs
- Score a power lay-up.
- Backpedal up and around the first chair, calling for the ball with both hands up and open toward the passer.
- Step through the pass and take a pull-up jumper off one dribble.
- Follow your shot and score a power lay-up whether it went in or not.
- Backpedal to the next chair and repeat all the way round.
Coaching point
Calling for the ball with the hands ready is what makes the catch shootable at speed.
