Euro Step Layup

How it works

Euro Step Layup: Start at the top of the key with the ball. Drive hard to your right toward the right side of the paint.

1. Start at the top of the key with the ball.
2. Drive hard to your right toward the right side of the paint.
3. Pick up your dribble with a large step right (step 1).
4. Quickly step left around the imaginary defender (step 2 — the Euro Step).
5. Lay the ball in with your right hand off the left side of the backboard.
6. Alternate sides each rep. 10 reps each side.

Coaching tips

The Euro Step is a 1-2 gather, not a 2-dribble move. Step 1 must be wide enough to commit the defender. Finish with a soft touch — not a power layup.
