I'm going to teach you guys how to do a lay up when you do a lay up you want to start out from the outside of the white line of the blue perimeter and whatever hand you go up with right or left you want to use your opposite leg to lift up with. For example if I go up with my right hand you want jump up with your left leg and you can only take 2 steps when you make a lay up if you take 3 it's called traveling. And on the opposite side if you use your left hand your going to up with your right leg with your left leg in the air as well I'll show you. Example right hand that's how you do a right handed lay up and this is your left handed lay up. That's how you do a right handed and left handed lay up, and that's how you do a right handed and left handed lay up.
