Coach Layton uses reaction drills to develop a "thinking on their feet" mentality. To develop instinctual skills using coordination and reacting to unknown situations as they develop. He uses a progression in his ball handling skills to make them more complex and difficult as they progress, while still working on the same basic skills.
