Lay-ups
I Coach my kids this way and try to explain the Traveling Rule for a layup on the right side as such:
1. You almost always jump from your left foot to shoot a right-handed layup from the right side.
2. You want to pick up your dribble (both hands touch ball) with your right leg in the lead. If you pick up your dribble with both feet on the floor, your pivot foot will be your right foot as soon as you pick up your trailing foot (the left).
3. If you pick up your dribble with only the lead right foot touching the floor, it is your pivot foot as soon as the trailing left foot moves into the lead and touches. (I get the right foot as the pivot foot in both cases?)
4. In either case, you pick up yout right (pivot) foot as you you jump off your left foot and pass or shoot before returning to the floor.
The jumping off one foot, landing on two and jumping again is a great move to teach young kids as it gives them the ability to snake left or right when jumping off the two feet.
If Coach K. is looking for a good, high-paid Assistant.....I can be had.
