Question

What are some safety measures to consider when doing a lay-up in basketball?

Answer 1

make sure you wear a protector on ur ankle or else you will easily sprain it.

last time i did a lay-up and i landed on my friend's foot, i couldn't walk for 2 days.

so make sure that you do not land of other people's foot.

Answer 2

umm dont land on your ankle thats about all i can think of right now

Answer 3

most important thing with a lay up is watching your surroundings make sure know where the defenders are because a. you dont want to get your shot swatted and b. you dont want to land on your defenders foot because you could roll your ankle.
