A player must start with layup practice. They can work on layups with both hands. First a beginner should start practicing with right hand and then left hand. Moreover he/she can also practice board layups and finger roll. A finger roll layup is basically done without using the board and basically releasing the ball on the ring. This would help in your layups practice.
