Jump from which foot on a layup?

note , simple increases in co-ordination can result in 10-15% additional height in a one foot jump. So go practice !!

if your last step for a left hand layup is with your right foot , then you can step next to or even slightly behing the fronting defenders right foot, and prevent him/her from easily reaching across the front of your body for the ball on your "far side", as your right shoulder/leg/hip holds them away. If your last step is with your left foot , then 1) you have to step 'around" the defender to give room for your right leg to step past, else you go chest to chest and get a charge foul 2) it is easier for them to reach the ball in your left hand. 3) biomechanically it 'disengages" your shooting motion which is using your left arm and left ribcage/obliques from the stabilising/jumping motion of your right foot, calf, thighs, hips and right obliques. If it all occurs on the same side, you have both a balance problem and a restictive and even possibly excessive tearing/extending action all along one side of your body.

Practice makes perfect...the earlier a kid is taught the footwork involved in making right and left-handed layups the better. Top-age U10's is an ideal age to start teaching it as once earnt, teaching the kids other footwork and moves is much easier...

Opposite foot to hand (Left foot-Right hand...Right foot-Left hand). Helps you maintain balance and get higher off the ground.
